Fore is the fastest way to fill a foursome. Down a player? Booked a tee time and need three more? Stop texting golf buddies one by one. With Fore, one tap pings your whole bench at once - by text message or in-app notification - and the first golfers to say yes fill the open spots. No group chats. No "you free Saturday?" follow-ups. No spreadsheet of who's in. HOW IT WORKS • Pick your course, tee time, and number of players needed • Choose who to ping — Fore groups your friends by who you golf with most so you know exactly who to invite first • Send. Friends get a text (or push notification if they have the app) with the tee time and a one-tap RSVP • Watch responses roll in live. As soon as the foursome's full, everyone knows WHY FORE • Your friends don't need the app. Fore sends a real SMS — they reply YES or NO straight from Messages • Designed for the way golfers actually plan rounds — last-minute, group-friendly, no scheduling overhead • Search 30,000+ golf courses worldwide with real photos and details • Track your upcoming rounds, round history, and golf network in one place • Built by a golfer, for golfers FEATURES • Broadcast invites by SMS or push notification • Smart friend groups: On The Green, Fringe, Fairway, Clubhouse • Live RSVP tracking with profile photos • Round detail view with course info, weather, and player roster • Pending invite inbox — accept or decline in one tap • Friend management, QR-code sharing, and contact import • Activity feed for every round update • Secure SMS-verified sign-in • Edit rounds, withdraw, invite more — all without leaving the round PRIVACY & TRUST Your contacts and round data stay yours.
