Wednesday, January 04, 2017

Brookfield, WI - January 3, 2017 - Golf Pipeline, a leading golf tee time management company, will launch a new tee time booking platform in 2017: GolfBook. In partnership with CBS Sports Digital, this new golfer platform, located at golfbook.com, will combine the strengths of the companies: Golf Pipeline's unique golf course tee time network and the reach of CBS Sports Digital. 

"We look forward to an exciting 2017 golf season as we prepare to launch GolfBook in partnership with CBS Sports Digital," said Gene Pizzolato, President and CEO of Golf Pipeline. "GolfBook will ultimately help golfers find the tee time they're looking for and the group they want to play with, because we firmly believe that golf is better when you're connected with friends."

GolfBook's core purpose will be to help golfers activate their game and fill their foursomes through a tee-time platform with sleek and easy technology. GolfBook will be rolled out in 2017 with support and promotion from CBS Sports Digital. 

"We believe GolfBook will be a valuable resource for golfers," said Jeffrey Gerttula, Senior Vice President and General Manager of CBS Sports Digital. "The launch of this platform marks the next chapter in our overall mission to support the golf industry."
