Noteefy Launches With Faster, Easier Way for Golfers to Find & Book Tee Times

Noteefy Launches With Faster, Easier Way for Golfers to Find & Book Tee TimesNoteefy empowers golfers to play more and worry less about finding and booking tee times. By sending personalized tee time availability alerts at local courses, completing bookings on golfer’s behalf as a concierge service, and connecting likeminded local players in a ‘Virtual Country Club’, Noteefy brings the technology innovation golfers and courses have been waiting for.

LOS ANGELES – October 19, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Today, Noteefy launches across Southern California with a faster, easier way for golfers to find and book tee times and meet great people to play with in their area. On their site, Noteefy.app, golfers set their playing preferences, then get personalized tee time availability alerts for free at the courses they love. Noteefy also provides golfers access to the ‘Virtual Country Club,’ an online forum to socialize with golfers in their geographic area and a ‘tee time booking concierge’ service at courses Noteefy is strategically partnered with.

See here a two-minute demo video of how Noteefy works. 

Brian Reed, General Manager of Simi Hills Golf Course, took the lead in partnering with Noteefy and providing his golfers with awareness of the product: “We receive what seems like 500 calls a week asking about our tee time availability. Now I can just refer our golfers to Noteefy and take that burden off the SHGC staff, while providing the golfers with an improved booking experience. We have also set up our community page and are excited about the benefits.”

Noteefy enters the market to solve the tee time booking challenges golfers have experienced amid a boom in golf playing activity and interest over the last two years.

While millions of new players picked up the game since COVID, (3.2 million new golfers began playing in 2021 – the highest levels of beginners on record, according to the NGF), a 2022 Noteefy survey of hundreds of golfers found that 80% expressed “difficulty” finding and booking their desired tee time and rated the process as “poor.”

“I’m forced into waking up at 6 a.m., weeks in advance and calling and refreshing my favorite course homepage over and over again in hopes of getting a tee time. It’s a painful and archaic process,” said Justin Supowitz, an active L.A.-based golfer and early Noteefy user.

Not even the game’s biggest executives were immune from tee time booking pain: Callaway Golf CEO: We can’t even get tee times, golf courses are so busy.

As golf fanatics with backgrounds in VC-backed startups and emerging technology, Jake Gordon, Noteefy Co-founder and CEO, and Dathan Wong, Co-founder and CTO, knew there was an opportunity to improve this process.

After interviewing hundreds of golfers and course operators, Jake and Dathan realized golf booking demand did outpace tee time supply, but the key problem for golfers was actually that tee time inventory was siloed across individual course sites and not easily accessible. Golfers lacked a way to get accurate real-time visibility and awareness into all available times at the courses they love. No aggregator had this information.

“We discovered that if we could directly connect the golfer and their playing preferences with the supply of tee times directly on their desired course site (like Google Flights, Resy or Expedia) – everyone would win. The golfer gets the time they want, and the course keeps 100% of the booking revenue, while golfers get an improved tool,” says Jake Gordon.

Noteefy plans to continue expanding partnerships with courses and operators (at zero cost) and is actively in conversations with many of the largest course operators to deploy Noteefy portfolio wide.

Techwave Announces ‘STEPtember,’ an Awareness Campaign to Support Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation

HOUSTON – October 19, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Techwave, a leading global IT and engineering solutions provider, shares its latest fundraising initiative, the “STEPtember, Health & Fitness Challenge.” The campaign is being launched in collaboration with the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation to raise awareness and funds for families affected by cerebral palsy. The funds raised by the STEPtember challenge will be used by the best CPARF researchers to prevent, treat, and cure cerebral palsy.

Cerebral palsy is a physical disability caused by damage to the developing brain during pregnancy, birth, or shortly after birth, which affects a person’s posture and movement throughout their life. Techwave’s “STEPtember” challenge is the key initiative to raise awareness about cerebral palsy among employees and entice them to lead a healthy lifestyle. Signing up for STEPtember and committing to 10,000 steps per day is the initial step. Tracking the steps with a digital pedometer or an app would follow. A total of 10,000 steps were taken every day during the “STEPtember” challenge by the employees for 28 consecutive days. By participating in this, we raised more than $2,000 and took more than 10 million steps for the CPARF cause.

“STEPtember is a virtual fundraising initiative to encourage fitness and healthy living among employees. The opportunity to fundraise for the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation is inspiring to us, and we are proud to be able to make a real difference in the lives of families living with cerebral palsy. This initiative will be rolled out all year long, globally, and we hope it will lead society to better understand cerebral palsy and those affected by it so that we can make a lasting difference for people with the condition,” said Mr. Raj Gummadapu, CEO, Techwave.
