PinSeek
A find-and-book app for casual golfers who want to play the same courses the pros are playing this week, with tee-time slots that work around live TV coverage.
Casual golfers planning a trip around a major or local PGA event
- Event-aware tee-time search that surfaces courses near the tournament venue with available slots
- Pro-visit alerts: when a touring pro is at a public-access course near you
- Group booking for the fourball behind the leaders (best-possible replay conditions)
- Trip planner that pairs tournament tickets with hotels and tee times in one cart
When Herbert lights up The Open, casual fans dream of playing Royal Birkdale-type courses; linking pro events to playable tee times is a missing bridge.

Golf participation and off-course TPC/major tourism are durable, but the value is heavily seasonal (4 majors + ~30 PGA stops/yr) and most host courses are private/resort with limited casual play windows, capping long-term runway.Best Golf Apps 2026: 11 Apps for GPS, Scoring, Booking and More ↗
TV schedules are public and tee-time inventory is reachable via existing aggregators (GolfNow etc.), so a thin MVP is buildable; main hurdle is course-by-course booking partnerships and the seasonal usage peak.Best Golf Apps 2026: 11 Apps for GPS, Scoring, Booking and More ↗
