Rover Golf Help
 
I ordered three pieces of equipment from them on December 25th for a total of 159.00 . I received a notice that I would receive them and that my charge card had been charged. No equipment as of today. I have called numerous times and no one answers. Messages left with may phone number and email address. I emailed John Weaver and on Jan 11th he said that everyone had the flu but he would check out my order staus and email me back. Has not happened yet. I have emailed John numerous times since with no response. What should I do?

I have no affiliation with John Rohan Weaver or his company, Rover Golf. Some five years ago, he told me he could produce a video for me. I made the trip to Orlando and gave it my all, but John and his production crew failed miserably. I made many attempts to obtain the video that was shot. He said it had significant technical errors and was unusable. Still, said I, "Give me the product". After repeated attempts . . .

Nada.

Nothing.

Finally, in lieu of a law suit, I simply let the matter drop. Then, mysteriously last fall, in an attempt to 'free ride' off the terrific success of my TGC Instructor Video, a number of clips suddenly emerged on the Internet, all referencing a relationship between me and Rover Golf. In repeated emails and telephone messages I demanded he take them down. John has not responded to either. Apparently, he has placed me on 'Ignore' mode. This is not a happy situation, and we are now taking the appropriate steps through YouTube to take these videos down.

You are now a member of the Rover Golf Injured Party Club.

As am I.

:(

The product has value. But if orders are not fulfilled, then John is engaged in fraudulent activity with his buyers. I do not want to send 'good money after bad' seeking damages from an indigent person. Still, to protect future purchasers relying on my "endorsement", it looks like I've got to go after the guy.

This is one hassle I definitely do NOT need, but it seems necessary. Stay tuned.

Coach if you paid with a credit card would they not refund you your losses?

coachpsmith 01-25-2011 04:23 PM

Thanks OB
 
Thanks for the info. Contacted the credit card company and they have credited my account the amount that went to Rover Golf.

Whew! Dodged a bullet there. I almost pulled the trigger on one of his training clubs a couple of months ago.

I ordered a Pure Release last year and after a month of it not showing up and no reply to emails I put a claim in with Paypal. Then got a message saying he was having problems with delivery to the UK so refunded my money. Weird as I had ordered the Pure Swing before and no problems.

Rover golf fraudulent activity
 
I am in New Zealand, over two Months ago I ordered a product,
power angle pro from Rover golf. I have never received it
despite my credit card being deducted. The only excuse from
John Weaver is he does not have the correct box size for
shipping. He does not answer many emails. Matter is now
in the hands of credit card company. This company is
fraudulent.

8 weeks before seeing Lynn and before my divorce, and because of Rover golf's use of Lynn's videos, I spent $129 ordering a product to help me emulate some of what Lynn teaches. Now I have nothing and have many emails and 2 phone conversations with Rover Golf promising, excuse making, etc. I happen to have a friend from college who is a Texas State Senator whom I have emailed along with the BBB, IRS, and FBI (Interstate Fraud). I have also protested his company on YouTube , especially since I was deceived using the tapes of Lynn which Lynn had no part in approving.

Today, I received another email claiming my refund is being made. I Will see and I will let you know, here, of the final results to this sad chapter.

I have considered making a YouTube video with printed emails to show anyone how this scam has worked and making Lynn's innocent role in all this clear. There are many, many sites that would play such a tape and this will be still another step to use in convincing Rover Golf to give me my money back or to prevent other people from being defrauded.

UPDATE: I HAVE RECEIVED BACK MY monies from ROVER GOLF 6/15/11!

What a sense of humor! :scratch: Should I send all the emails, too? :laughing9

Mike I think you are not serious and just messing around. However, if you do really represent RoverGolf, please PM me as I have a few suggestions.

I'm sure there is nothing funny about your experience with RoverGolf. Good Luck - although from the sounds of previous emails - I wouldn't expect anything.

How in the heck can they stay in business? They have committed fraud and theft across state lines. I would suggest they be reported (again?).

Texas is an easy state in which to start a business. One can do so in six weeks! However, stopping a business is much harder in Texas. By contrast, it takes 9 months to start a business in CA, and six weeks to shut it down.

Different priorities. :)

Let me reiterate that Lynn has had nothing to do with Rover Golf and is a wonderfully honorable person to do business with besides a terrific teacher!
