Let’s start off by describing who we are and what we are trying to do. We are 3 MBA’s that have a passion for technology and a love for golf. We would like to bring the new e-commerce and internet technologies that surround us, to the golf industry. By creating an online golf portal, we want golfers to have access to all things related to golf. Searching for golf courses, booking tee-times, and interacting within our community are just some of the features that we are looking to provide. Our goal is to create a place on the internet where golfers can come to get their golfing fix. Our first product is an iPhone app, CourseCaddy. We are awaiting Apple’s approval,so it should be on iTunes any day now.

Why have we decided to do this?

Well we see a market out there for golfers. Everywhere you look consumers are using the internet to purchase anything and everything these days. From flights, to vacations, to books, to electronics, to movie tickets. Everything that you can think of is purchased on the internet. So we asked ourselves, why not golf? As golfers, we want to see more transperancy of tee-times and eliminate the task of calling 4-5 golf courses everytime we want to play. I want to be able go to a website, look for a golf course and tee-time that fits my availability and my budget and book. Easy, simple and hassle free. And we at caddyshank are looking to provide that service. I would also like golfers to be able to search and find great deals on caddyshank.com. The goal is to make it easier for people to play more golf. For golf courses, we would like to provide an amazing marketplace to show the world your golf course. We are working very hard to bring you our vision. If you have any thoughts, comments or features that you would like to see give us a shout.

Cheers,

Team caddyshank
