Stop texting around to fill a foursome. TeeMates gives your golf group one place to plan rounds, run events, and keep everyone up to date, so you spend less time coordinating and more time playing. Join or create a Space for your club, league night, work crew, or regular group. Post a round, let members claim the open spots, and talk logistics with your foursome in the app. Why TeeMates? Fill Your Tee Times: Post a round with the course, date, and time, and members of your Spaces can join. You'll be notified when someone wants to play, so open spots fill fast. Run Events Without the Spreadsheet: Host clinics, socials, and group outings. Members request to join and you approve them, cap the number of spots, add guests who aren't on the app, and split players into groups with their own time slots. Keep Everyone Updated: Post event announcements in one place. Participants are notified automatically when you approve a request or change the date, time, or location, or if an event is cancelled. All the Details in One Place: Everyone can see who's playing, where, and when, with course info, directions, and an organizer's note, before they commit. Chat With Your Group: Each round has its own chat, so you can sort out cart sharing, meet-up times, and side bets without a group text. Build Your Regulars: Every round and event adds to your list of go-to players, people you actually want to spend four hours with.
