Section 1

Eligibility & Membership

The Next On The Tee program is open to any golfer — beginner or experienced — who wants access to quality, refurbished equipment. There is no income requirement, but we ask that all participants apply and participate in good faith.

Who can join

  • Any individual who wants access to golf equipment and does not already have a complete, functional set
  • Active golfers looking to update or expand their bag through our inventory
  • Youth participants (under 18) with consent of a parent or guardian, who agrees to these terms on their behalf
  • Members referred through a partner non-profit, golf course, or community organization

Who this program is not for

  • Individuals seeking clubs for resale, commercial use, or on behalf of another person without disclosure
  • Anyone who has previously been removed from the program for conduct violations
Membership is a privilege, not a right. Tee Time LLC reserves the right to deny or revoke membership at any time, at its sole discretion, if a member misrepresents their situation, violates these terms, or acts in a manner harmful to the program or other members.
Section 2

Your Equipment Set

Members who do not already have a set of clubs are eligible to receive one at no cost. We will provide all clubs we have in stock that match your profile, build a set, and ship it to you free of charge.

What we provide

  • A custom-matched set based on your player profile (height, wrist-to-floor distance, handedness, skill level)
  • All clubs are refurbished through the Tee Time Treatment — inspected, cleaned, polished, and regripped
  • Shipping to your address at no cost
  • A photographic record of your equipment at the time of shipping (see Section 7 — Damaged Equipment)

Set contents

A complete bag includes up to 14 clubs. The exact contents depend on available inventory and your fitting profile. Partial sets are provided when a full bag is not yet available, and we will communicate the contents clearly before shipping. As inventory grows, members with partial sets will be matched to additional clubs.

No cost to receive your first set. There is no fee, deposit, or payment of any kind required to receive your initial equipment from Next On The Tee.
Section 3

Club Limits & Requests

To ensure the program remains available to as many members as possible, there are limits on how many clubs any single member can hold at one time.

Standard club limit

Each member may hold up to 5 clubs from the program at any given time. This applies to all members regardless of membership tier or tenure.

Requesting beyond the limit

If you wish to add a club beyond your 5-club limit, you have two options:

  • Return a club — return one of your current program clubs to free up a slot, at which point you may request a replacement
  • Special request — submit a written request through the portal explaining why you need an additional club beyond the limit. Special requests are reviewed by Tee Time staff and may be approved or declined at our discretion. Approved special requests may come with a specific price point set by Tee Time.
The 5-club limit is per member, not per household. Each member has their own limit. Sharing a profile or combining limits between family members or other individuals is not permitted.
Section 4

Exchanges & Trades

Members in good standing may exchange clubs from their set as their game develops, their physical needs change, or better-matched inventory becomes available.

Free exchange allowance

All members — both new recipients and active golfers updating their bag — receive up to 5 free transactions per quarter. A transaction is defined as a single club exchange: returning one club and receiving one club in return.

Beyond the free allowance

Transactions beyond 5 per quarter are subject to a fee set by Tee Time LLC:

$0.99–$1.99 Per transaction
beyond 5/quarter
5 / qtr Free transactions
per quarter
TBD Special requests
priced by Tee Time

The exact fee within the $0.99–$1.99 range is set by Tee Time LLC based on club type, availability, and program conditions at the time of the transaction. All prices are set by Tee Time and are final.

Special exchange requests

If you need more than 5 transactions in a quarter, submit a special request through the portal. Approved special requests may exceed the quarterly limit and may be assigned a specific price point by Tee Time LLC at its sole discretion.

Exchange rules

  • Exchanges are subject to inventory availability — we cannot guarantee an immediate match
  • You must return your current club before or at the same time as receiving a replacement
  • Clubs that have been lost, neglected, or intentionally damaged are not eligible for exchange
  • Clubs may not be exchanged for cash, goods, or services outside the program
Transaction type Cost Quarterly limit
Standard exchange (within 5/quarter) Free 5 per quarter
Exchange beyond free allowance $0.99–$1.99 each 5 additional per quarter
Special request (over limit) Set by Tee Time LLC By approval only
Exchange within 30-day return window Free Per club, once
Section 5

Lease-to-Own

All equipment provided through Next On The Tee operates under a lease-to-own arrangement. This is not a loan, and it is not a sale — it is a simple recognition of how the program works and how members can take permanent ownership of their clubs.

How it works

  • Equipment is provided to you for active use under a lease that renews each year or season
  • The lease recognizes that after continued participation in the program, the clubs in your bag become yours
  • Once ownership transfers, Tee Time LLC has no further interest in those clubs — they are yours to keep, use, or sell as you choose
  • Members are always welcome to donate their clubs back to the program so another golfer can benefit from them

Renewal

The lease renews automatically each year or at the start of each golf season. Tee Time LLC will notify active members of renewal periods. Failure to respond to renewal communication may result in your set being returned to program inventory for another member's use.

What lease-to-own does not mean

  • It is not a financial contract with a payment schedule or credit obligation
  • It does not create a lien, title claim, or legal instrument of any kind beyond these terms
  • It does not entitle a member to compensation if equipment is repossessed due to a conduct violation
Simple version: Use the clubs, play with them, take care of them. The longer you're in the program and in good standing, the more they become yours. When you're ready to move on, you can keep them or give them back so someone else can use them.
Section 6

Pricing & Transactions

Next On The Tee is designed to be as accessible as possible. The initial set and standard exchanges are free. Fees only apply when a member exceeds the quarterly free allowance.

All prices are set by Tee Time LLC

Tee Time LLC retains sole authority to set, adjust, and communicate all pricing within this program. Prices are non-negotiable by individual members. Tee Time LLC reserves the right to change pricing with reasonable notice to active members.

Payment

When a paid transaction is required, payment must be completed before the replacement club is shipped or made available. Accepted payment methods will be communicated at the time of transaction.

No refunds on paid transactions. Once a paid exchange has been processed and a club has been shipped, the transaction is final. See Section 9 for the 30-day return policy that applies to all club exchanges regardless of payment.
Section 7

Damaged Equipment

We stand behind every club we send out. If you receive a club that is damaged or becomes damaged through a defect rather than use, we will work with you to make it right.

Our documentation process

Before any club leaves our inventory, Tee Time LLC photographs the equipment. These photos are stored against your member record and serve as the reference point for any damage claim. This protects both you and us.

Documenting a damage claim

  • If you believe a club arrived damaged or has a defect, photograph the damage and submit a claim through the portal within 30 days of receiving the club
  • Your photos will be compared against our outgoing photos to assess the claim
  • If the damage is confirmed as pre-existing or a shipping issue, we will provide a replacement club at no cost
  • Return of the damaged club may be required before a replacement is shipped

What is not covered

  • Damage caused by normal wear and tear — worn grips, minor cosmetic scratches from regular play
  • Damage caused by neglect, improper storage, or misuse
  • Damage that cannot be documented with a photo submitted within the 30-day window
  • Claims submitted more than 30 days after the club was received
Photo documentation is your protection. We encourage every member to photograph their clubs when they arrive. Matching your photos against ours is the fastest and fairest way to resolve any dispute.
Section 8

Member Profile & Virtual Clubhouse

Members who sign up through the Tee Time Virtual Clubhouse can attach their bag directly to their profile. This unlocks the full matching experience — your clubs are tracked, and we can continuously suggest inventory that fits your game.

Setting up your profile

  • A full member profile requires a phone number and email address
  • Your profile stores your fitting data, current bag contents, and transaction history
  • We use your profile to match you with clubs in our inventory as new equipment comes in
  • You can update your profile at any time through the Clubhouse

What your profile enables

  • Bag tracking — a live view of every club you currently hold from the program
  • Club matching — ongoing suggestions when new inventory matches your specs
  • Transaction history — a record of every exchange, request, and return
  • Damage claims — submit and track claims directly from your profile

Data and privacy

Your phone number and email are used exclusively for program communications — club matching, transaction confirmations, renewal notices, and damage claims. We do not sell, share, or use your contact information for marketing outside of the Next On The Tee program without your consent. For questions about your data, contact us at itisteetime18@gmail.com.

Section 9

Refunds & Returns

No refunds on transactions

All paid transactions — including per-exchange fees and special request pricing — are non-refundable. Once a transaction has been processed and equipment has shipped, the fee is final.

30-day return window

If you are not satisfied with a club for any reason, you may return it within 30 days of receiving it. The club will be returned to program inventory and your club slot will be freed for a new request. There is no penalty for a return within this window.

  • Returns accepted within 30 days of delivery, no questions asked
  • Club must be returned in the condition it was received (or better)
  • Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the member unless the return is due to documented damage (see Section 7)
  • Returns after 30 days are not accepted unless approved as a special exception by Tee Time LLC
  • Returned clubs that arrive in significantly worse condition than documented at shipping may not be credited
Section 10

Club Valuation Policy

The Next On The Tee program places no monetary value on any individual club. Whether a club is brand new or decades old, our program treats all donated equipment equally — we assess it for playability, not for market price.

This policy is foundational to how the program works:

  • All donated clubs, regardless of brand or age, are accepted, refurbished to the best of our ability, and made available to members
  • Exchanges between members and the program are facilitated on the basis of fit and availability, not on the relative value of clubs
  • A member returning a premium club is not entitled to a premium club in return — matches are based on your fitting profile and current inventory
  • Members may not assign, assert, or claim a monetary value for program equipment in any dispute, insurance claim, or legal proceeding against Tee Time LLC
No club is worth more than another in this program. This is not a pawn shop or a marketplace — it is a sharing system. The value is in the fit and the access, not the brand or the age.
Section 11

Member Conduct

This program is built on trust. We ask every member to carry themselves accordingly.

  • Take care of program equipment — clean, store, and use clubs appropriately
  • Use equipment for your own play and development only
  • Respond to program communications, including renewal notices and follow-up requests
  • Notify us if your situation changes and you no longer need the clubs
  • Do not sell, trade, or transfer program equipment outside of the official exchange process
  • Do not misrepresent yourself, your situation, or the condition of equipment in any program communication
  • Do not use abusive, threatening, or harassing language toward Tee Time staff or other members

Violations of these conduct expectations may result in immediate removal from the program, repossession of equipment, and a permanent ban from future participation. Tee Time LLC reserves the right to make these determinations at its sole discretion.

Section 12

Limitation of Liability

Equipment provided as-is

All equipment is provided in refurbished condition. While we make every reasonable effort to ensure clubs are safe and playable, Tee Time LLC makes no warranty — express or implied — regarding the fitness, merchantability, or performance of any club beyond what is explicitly stated in these terms.

Limitation on damages

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Tee Time LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from your participation in this program, your use of program equipment, or any transaction conducted under these terms — even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Personal injury

Tee Time LLC is not liable for any personal injury arising from the use of program equipment. Golf is a physical activity with inherent risks. By accepting equipment from this program, you acknowledge those risks and agree that Tee Time LLC bears no responsibility for injuries sustained during use.

Maximum liability

In any event, Tee Time LLC's total liability to any member for any claim arising from this program shall not exceed the total amount paid by that member to Tee Time LLC in the 12 months preceding the claim.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Tee Time LLC, its owners, staff, and volunteers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of program equipment, your violation of these terms, or your conduct as a program member.

Section 13

Program Changes & Governing Terms

Right to modify

Tee Time LLC reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Next On The Tee program at any time. Changes to these terms will be posted here and communicated to active members with reasonable advance notice where possible. Continued participation after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

Program discontinuation

If the program is discontinued, active members will be notified and given a reasonable window to either retain their equipment under the lease-to-own arrangement or return it. Tee Time LLC will not seek recovery of equipment from members who have been in the program in good standing.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the state in which Tee Time LLC is registered. Any dispute that cannot be resolved through direct communication will be subject to binding arbitration in that jurisdiction, rather than litigation, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Severability

If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect. The unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.

Entire agreement

These terms, together with any written communications from Tee Time LLC confirming your membership or specific transaction conditions, constitute the entire agreement between you and Tee Time LLC regarding the Next On The Tee program.

Contact

Questions about these terms, your membership, or a specific transaction should be directed to itisteetime18@gmail.com. We aim to respond within 3 business days.
