Update from the Engine Room<\/h2>\n
9th December 2025 was the birth of this website, and what a month it was. From the beginnings of an idea on 7th December, the site first went live on 12th December. By the end of the month, we had catalogued:30,815 Courses\n13,326 Competitions\n\nOur first trial users signed up, and the website was developed to a fully-functional state, with support for Tours, Societies and Charity days as well as regular golf competitions.\n\nThe coming months before the season hots up in the Northern Hemisphere will be dedicated to improving accuracy of data, and training the AI dog to do a better and better job so the human can spend more time playing golf and less time checking his work!\n\nMeanwhile, please share this site with your friends, put a link to it on your website, etc! We need all the help we can get, and the more people use it, the more accurate the data will become, and the more useful the site will be for everyone!\n\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
