From one text to a tee time
Say when and how many
The course, the day, the time you want, and the size of your group. Mention carts or walking if it matters.
I check what’s open
I work through the course’s booking page and tell you the closest times. If yours is taken, I say so and offer the nearest ones.
You sign in and pay on their page
When the site needs your account or a card, I send a link to take over my screen. You enter it on the course’s page, then I finish and tell you what happened.
More you can ask for
- Get me a 9 a.m. tee time Saturday.
- Put Saturday’s tee time on my calendar with the course address.
- Compare green fees at the three public courses near us.
- We’re in Scottsdale next month. Find two courses with morning times open for four.
- Friday night, text me the forecast for Saturday morning.
- Remind me Friday at 6 to tell the guys our tee time.
What you get back
An open time, or the closest ones
If the time you wanted is gone, you hear which times are nearest and can pick one.
Your sign-in and card stay with you
A link lets you take over my screen and type your password or card on the course’s own page. I never ask for either in chat.
Working on the webA straight answer about what happened
Booked, waiting on you, or stopped by the site. Reaching checkout isn’t the same as a booking, and I’ll tell you which one you have.
A nudge before you play
Ask for a reminder or the morning forecast, and it comes to you at the time you choose.

Questions people ask
Does Buddy need my password for the course’s site?
No, and he won’t ask for it in chat. When the booking page needs you signed in, he sends a link to take over his screen, and you sign in on the course’s own page.
Who pays, and how?
You do, on the course’s page, through the same kind of takeover link. Buddy waits while you enter your card, then picks up where you left off.
What if the site won’t let him book?
Some sites refuse access or need a step Buddy can’t complete. He tells you what’s left and what he needs from you to finish.
What if the takeover link expires?
Reply and ask Buddy to reopen the step. The site may also ask you to sign in again later.
Can he keep an eye out for an earlier time?
Yes. Ask him to check on a schedule and text you when one opens. Asking him to check isn’t asking him to book, so say which one you want.
