Less looking. More playing. Hold My Tee sends a spotter to walk ahead of your group and watch every shot land. When a ball goes offline, someone is already looking, so you don't have to. HOW IT WORKS 1. Book your tee time at the course. Then open Hold My Tee and pick the same time. 2. You'll see your spotter's name and photo before you pay. 3. Pay in the app. Your spotter meets you at the first tee. 4. They walk ahead the whole round, watching every shot. When a ball ends up offline, they plant a flag next to it. Take your shot and grab the flag on your way past. A SPOTTER IS NOT A CADDIE They don't join your group, carry your bag, or read your putts. They stay out ahead and keep to themselves. Ignore them and play your round. PRICING $66 per round for your group. Now booking in Dallas, Fort Worth. Questions? support@holdmytee.app
