Problem
Many golfers lack access to a community hub like a country club, resulting in isolated rounds, difficulty finding compatible playing partners, and limited ways to discover open tee times locally.
Solution
Fore offers a dedicated social network for golfers that combines GPS shot tracking, scorekeeping, and handicap management with community features. Users can follow friends' rounds, match with players of similar handicap, and connect with industry peers directly on the course. The platform also aggregates open tee times in a user’s city, enabling golfers to fill groups quickly. By consolidating these tools into a single app, Fore creates a “modern clubhouse” experience that fosters social interaction and competitive play without requiring traditional club membership.
Target Audience
Fore targets recreational and amateur golfers who seek social connections, competitive matches, and convenient tee‑time discovery, especially those without access to a private country club.
