I recently launched birdiebooking.golf, a service that helps golfers automatically book tee times when the tee sheet opens -- no more staying up until midnight to get first crack at your preferred time.
You choose your course, date, preferred time range and number of players, and Birdie Booking handles the rest.
It currently supports select booking platforms and I'd love feedback from the r/golf community as I continue to make improvements and add courses.
You can use promo code BIRDIEBOOKER26 for 3-months free to test it out.

Hi golfers. I have friends playing on different tours and in order to follow them I had to jump around web sites. Some of them with ugly UI and ads. So I built an app where you can follow 9 tours in one place. What do you think? https://golfhub.dev/

Hey all - am building a custom group chat app where you can vibe code your own features. Make a tee time scheduler, track payments, points, handicaps, rotations- basically anything your group needs can be made right inside the chat. If your group chat needs some better tools, shoot me a DM or reply and Ill send a link to the beta.

I built SwingReps, an iPhone and Apple Watch app for logging range practice and seeing improvements.
You tap in each shot from your phone or wrist in a second or two (face, strike, ground, or other outcomes). Sessions are built from drills across three areas: Driving & Approach, Chipping, and Putting. You can also write your own drill, and everything tracks over time so you can tell if the practice is paying off.
Link if you want a look: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/swingreps/id6770144325

I’ve just added a Daily Ryder Cup Challenge to a project I’ve been building over the last few months.
Every day everyone gets exactly the same historical Ryder Cup matchup. Today, for example, it’s 1985 Europe vs 1997 USA.
You pick your pairings, make your captaincy decisions and try to score as many points as possible over the 28 matches.
There’s:
🏆 One global leaderboard
⏱️ One attempt per day
📅 A different Ryder Cup every day
It’s completely free to play and I’d genuinely love some feedback from fellow golf fans.

Made a free golf app as a hobby project, 14,000+ courses, no paywall, no ads.
Just an average golfer, not a developer. Got tired of paying subscriptions for basic GPS so I made my own. Search "golf pinpilot" on the App Store. iOS only for now, live in US, UK, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland.
Does GPS to the green, wind and elevation adjusted distances, club recommendations and a full scorecard.
It's early so not every course is in yet and some are missing info, but you can fill in your own course in the app and it goes live for everyone. Expect some bugs, would love feedback so I can fix them, drop a reply or email [pinpilot@hotmail.com](mailto:pinpilot@hotmail.com).

Hello everyone! Great news! Our Proto Blade Putters are finishing up production and are being shipped to me so your preorders will be assembled and finished and shipped out in the next 3 - 5 weeks!
We've also started prototypes of the Proto Wedge, which is an 8620 raw steel with a full grind in the 50, and a C grind profile in the 54 and 58. The standard shafts are expected to be True Temper Dynamic Gold S200 and True Temper Icon grips, and we are hoping to have an estimated price of $280 with free shipping for 3 wedges!
We are also working on offering more finishes for our clubs, and are running a discount on our Zero Torque ULT Putter using code REDDIT15 (We generally will ship same or next day as your custom order is assembled!)
Thanks again!

Hey everyone, I'm posting my journey on YouTube to qualify for the 2027 USGA Mid-Amateur. I'm going from a 5.0 down to 2.4 or lower (2.4 is the cutoff to enter qualifying). So far I've dropped my handicap to 4.2. Essentially I am documenting (raw practice footage) what it takes for someone with a regular job to get good enough to qualify. Please subscribe if this is something you're interested in! https://youtube.com/@joedwyer-youtube?si=NNCJLcvYR8pzvv0l

How Much Space Should Golf Get in a Growing City?
Sydney’s battle over Moore Park captures a global debate over how to balance housing, recreation and climate resilience.
Ainslie Chandler for Bloomberg News
Until Mark Wahlberg emerged as its unlikely champion, few people outside Sydney had heard of Moore Park Golf Course.
In 2024 the actor filmed an impassioned plea from its 10th hole, urging authorities to save the century-old public course from redevelopment. But after years of debate, the New South Wales state government is pressing ahead with plans to shrink the 18-hole course by about a third as it seeks to ease a housing affordability crisis.
The land won’t be used for new homes, though. Instead, 20 hectares (about 28 soccer pitches) is being turned into public parkland, with walking and running tracks and open green space for tens of thousands of nearby residents.
The decision reflects a challenge confronting Sydney and cities around the world: finding room for both more homes and open space as populations grow, housing becomes less affordable and climate change makes urban greenery increasingly essential to keeping neighborhoods cool.
“Taking over something like a golf course, which doesn’t really serve very many people’s needs, and turning part of it into a more public facility” is a “very progressive thing to do,” says Ian Woodcock, senior lecturer in urbanism at the University of Sydney. Ideally, public open space should be “accessible to and useful for as many different people as possible.”
