Golf IRL: “Find your foursome.” Golf’s tee times, handicaps and etiquette intimidate newcomers, and solo players are often paired with strangers. Popular fee-based apps exist such as GolfNow and Spark Golf. Golf IRL helps people find a group on-demand that’s less formal. Every foursome needs three more players, which gives the app a built-in invite loop, and golf outings already drive alumni networking and fundraising.

Golf is growing: more than 29 million Americans played on a course in 2025, an eighth straight year of growth, and women now make up a record 28% of on-course golfers (National Golf Foundation). This weekend’s PGA Tour Austin Championship at Omni Barton Creek (Nov 12–15) is a natural first meetup for IRL golfers.
