Fill your tee sheet, not your group chat. You booked the tee time. Now you need three more players — and the group chat turns into forty messages, nobody actually commits, and someone bails Friday night. ForeSome fixes that. Create the round, pick your buddies, and they each get a text with a personal link. They tap "I'm in" — no app to download, no account to make, works on any phone. First yes takes the spot. When the sheet fills, everyone confirmed gets the roster. HOW IT WORKS • Book it, post it — pick your course, date, and how many spots you need. Takes 30 seconds. • Your buddies get a text — one tap to answer. They never install anything. • First yes gets the spot — the sheet fills itself and locks when it's full. WHY GOLFERS LIKE IT • No app for your friends. A text and a link is all they need. • First come, first served. Spots are claimed atomically — no double-booking, no awkward "I asked first." • Auto-waitlist. Someone drops out at 6am? The next person in line gets a text with first dibs and the spot refills while you sleep. • Invite more people than you have spots. That's the point — let first-come-first-served do the diplomacy. • Your crew, remembered. Everyone you've invited before is one tap next time. • Course search and directions built in. • Morning-of reminders so nobody sleeps through the 7:40. Invite six for two spots. Go back to bed. Wake up to a full foursome. ForeSome sends text messages on your behalf to the friends you personally invite. Message and data rates may apply. Recipients can reply STOP at any time.
