This app wants to be the ultimate social network for golfers

If you play golf often, you probably know how awkward it can be if you don’t have a foursome to play with.

A game of golf usually takes several hours, and it’s much more enjoyable when you’re paired with people you have something in common with.

To solve this, Peter Kratsios created GolfMatch, an app that uses an algorithm to match players with one another based on factors like age, location, skill level, and game interest.

“There were times where I would be matched with people who were 30 to 40 years older than me and had nothing in common with me,” Kratsios said to Business Insider.

Similar to a dating app, GolfMatch’s system uses behavioral data to find the best matches for you to play a round of golf with. It filters through other users with factors like location, handicap, age, courses you regularly play, and the styles that you most enjoy.
