Deemples, who operates as the first two-sided marketplace, places a high value on both customers and golf courses by encouraging players to play more frequently, establishing relationships with other golfers, and building a golfing network. This increases user experience, increases revenue, and draws more players to golf courses, all in one way. &nbsp,
