My initial takeaway is that @zico__g is onto something special and you should be following him. I get pitched so many different golf/tech products, but @CourseVaults feels both differentiated and highly sticky. "Letterboxd for Golf Courses" is obvious, but still I'm impressed.

Everyone talks about Pebble Beach (vault 9.2). Nobody talks about how Spyglass Hill (vault 8.8) might actually be harder. If you've played both, we need your ratings on Course Vaults. Settle the debate. đź”—

fwiw - i don't mind the shotgun start (cool to see scores move in real time) - I also like the team aspect to some degree. but lasers, music, and night golf just feels overly commercialized and spiritless. i'd be willing to bet there are at least a dozen players on that tour

For the product & design nerds out there: I redesigned @CourseVaults' rating + onboarding system. Course Vaults lets golfers track and rate the courses they’ve played- building a player-driven alternative to critic panels and rankings. At the time: 28% of users never rated or

Here are a few of the entrepreneurs I've had the privilege connecting with from this app. All from different factions, all great people. Check them out if you don't know them already: @coop_golf (Creates awesome golf signs and prints for your favorite courses) @BowTied_Golfer
What a great read - one of his best. I echo @BowTied_Golfer point: the issue isn’t that golf has factions, it’s believing one of them should win. Growth doesn’t dilute the game. It stabilizes it. More golfers means more niches. That’s opportunity - for builders,

If you’ve logged into Course Vaults recently, you may be seeing a message asking you to update the app (without an update available in the app store). This is a small hiccup in our deployment process - the latest version has been submitted to Apple and is currently pending
Hey y’all - CV Gen 2.0 is almost here. Starting tomorrow, the app + site will be down for a few days while we roll out updates. Appreciate the patience. See you on the other side ⛳️

decided to ditch 4i and go 5 wedges: 45° - Pitch 50° - Attack 52° - Gap (bump n runs only) 56° - SW (M grind - versatile) 60° - LW (K grind - soft sand & conditions)
Thinking of ditching my 4i in favor of a fourth wedge. Gapping feels too close at the top for my game. 3w: 240+ 3h: 220 4i: 210 5i: 200 Thoughts? Wedges on on hand: 51/52/56/58/60

Premature launch. Too excited. Some updates are live and some data is still being ported over. If your account is missing courses, give it a few hours. All systems should be 🟢 in the next 24-48 hours.
