Life moves fast. Ferris Bueller told us as much. If you want to play golf consistently to improve your game, to enjoy some friendly competition, or to get some fresh air and exercise, joining a golf league maybe your best option. League play happens routinely, so you’ve got something on the calendar at least that often. In addition to making a plan, there are other reasons to consider joining others in a league, too.

The Benefits of Joining a Golf League

• You know you’ll never go more than a week without playing a round
• Wonderful way to meet and get to know other golfers
• Practice makes perfect… or frustrated, whichever the case may be
• A little competition is good for the heart rate (This claim has not been peer reviewed by anyone with medical expertise, but it seems like it would be true.)
• Walking the course is good exercise
• Great incentive to get out of the house, out of the office, out of the rut, outside in general

The Benefits of Golf League Members Being on a Golf App

Everybody does things differently, but one thing golfers can agree on: scorecards and golf pencils are a pain in the derriere. If everyone’s on the same app, they can keep score digitally. A golf app also:

• Makes it easy for players to tracks stats
• Singular location for messaging
• Easier to schedule tee times for all participants and send reminder emails
• Automatically pull GHIN for more balanced pairings/foursomes
• Central leaderboard

An Easy Way to Find New Players

Even with all the benefits of participating with a golf league, there will be those times when a player bails at the last minute and a group needs a fourth. It can be tricky to find someone who competes at a similar skill level and enjoys golf for the same reasons.

Or…

The golf league organizer paired you with your husband in a foursome next week. You love the man, but his ego can’t handle your keen ability. For the sake of your marriage the two of you need your own space on the course. You want to trade places with someone of a similar skill level.

Here’s how the Unknown Golf app can help:

John participated in a golf event last weekend. Organizers ran the event using Unknown Golf. John really enjoyed golfing with Bob in his foursome but didn’t think to exchange contact information. The in-app messaging feature allows John to reach out to Bob to see if he wants to fill in a gap… or just play around.

The moral(s) of the story: golf leagues are cool and Unknown Golf keeps you connected.
