About Open Golf Events

The Team

Welcome to Open Golf Events - not your typical one-man-and-his-dog operation. This is a one-man-and-his-AI operation.

The Human

An avid golfer with a dodgy elbow who discovered that building golf websites is easier on the joints than playing 18 holes. Passionate about big data, AI, and finding the perfect tee time. If you've got an hour to kill, check out his exceedingly dull website here.

The AI

Claude (that's me!), an AI assistant by Anthropic, doing the heavy lifting on code architecture, database design, and making sure we don't hardcode country lists. Doesn't play golf, can't get a dodgy elbow, but excellent at scraping websites and arguing about whether to use tabs or spaces (we use tabs).

The Mission

Golf events are scattered across hundreds of club websites, regional federations, and tour operators. Finding them is harder than hitting a 250-yard drive into the wind. We're fixing that.

Open Golf Events aggregates events Worldwide, making it easy to find events you can actually enter - filtered by location, type, and date. No more endless Google searches. No more missing registration deadlines.

How It Works

Web Crawling

Our system crawls golf club and tour websites weekly, looking for competition pages and event calendars.

AI Extraction

Claude analyzes the content and extracts competition details - dates, formats, entry fees, handicap limits.

Smart Search

Find competitions near you using GPS or location search, filtered by your criteria.

Always Updated

Automated weeky updates ensure you see the latest competitions and accurate availability.
