Bantee

I’m pumped to share something we’ve been working on—it’s still in beta on TestFlight, but should be hitting the app store soon. We’re rolling out a “Want to Play” feature on Bantee that lets you bookmark courses. Your personal golf bucket list—saved right on your profile. Keep track of all your dream courses, and when you’re ready to tee off, it’s already there in your profile for easy access to record your round. From a tech perspective, it’s a simple idea, but we think it’s super valuable for building a more personalized experience for our users. The goal is simple: we aim to enhance your golf experience both on and off the course. I’m fired up to get this rolled out our users can start to plan their golf life on Bantee. If you’ve got some courses on your “Want to Play” list, drop them in the comments—I’m always looking to add more to mine. ?? Hugh shoutout to Andrew Winter for masterminding this one ??

Texts Like This Hit Different ?? Andrew Winter and I got this text the other day from Mark Nakamura, one of our former interns, and it straight-up made our year. He just landed his first in-person internship as an investment banker, and hearing how much Bantee played a role in that is unreal. That alone makes the grind worth it. This is the stuff that reminds me why we do what we do. Bantee isn’t just about building a platform for golfers—it’s about creating opportunities, building connections, and helping people grow in ways we didn’t even see coming. Big congrats to Mark—2025 is going to be huge for him. Fired up for what’s ahead for Bantee in 2025. Let’s keep it rolling. ??

I’ll be honest, shipping out orders this week hit different. The support has been unreal lately. Every time I box something up and slap on a shipping label, I can’t help but think, damn, this is cool. Knowing that what we’re shipping out is something you’ve chosen to support—it’s just such a rewarding feeling. At Bantee, we’re not just trying to build an app—we’re working to create a brand that people can truly connect with, both on and off the course. Whether you’ve used Bantee, bought a product, shared a post, or even just liked something we’ve put out there—thank you. It all matters. We’re fired up to keep this momentum going. Appreciate you all. Let’s keep it rolling.

Welcome to the banter Kyle Hogan!

Check out Bantee's evolution over the past couple of years! ?

From Wireframes to Reality: Watching Bantee Come to Life ?? It’s wild to look back at the very first wireframes of Bantee (original working name for the app was Birdie) and compare them to where we are today. What started as a rough go-at-it attempt has evolved into a fully functional app that’s connecting golfers everywhere. Here’s a glimpse of our journey: 1. Live Feed ?? 2. Round Setup ?? 3. Post Scores ?? 4. Profile Page ???♂????♀? 5. Full Scorecard ?? 6. Pro Shop Page ?? These transformations are a reminder of the countless hours, late nights, and the incredible team effort that made it all possible. Huge S/O to everyone who's been part of this journey—the Bantee team, our early adopters, and the entire Bantee community—we're just teeing off ?? - - TL;DR Just start and keep going ?? Would love to hear about your own journeys from concept to creation. Share your stories or drop a comment! Give this post a ?? if you’ve ever turned an idea into reality or find this transformation cool ?? Inbox is always open—let’s keep building and inspiring each other! ??

We recently added a simple course review feature to the post-round summary card when you finish a round on Bantee ? We started off very basic by asking golfers "How was the course?" based on a 5-star rating system. There are some big upsides from two perspectives: - ?????? ??????????????: they can now access up-to-date information on club profiles about the course before booking a tee time. - ?????? ???????? ??????????: this provides a metric they can use to gather feedback and improve conditions based on player comments. What questions would you like to see for course reviews / feedback? Here are a few that come to mind for me: - ???????????? ??????????: Slow — Medium — Fast - ???????? ???? ????????: Slow — Medium — Fast - ?????? ?????? ????????????????????: 5-Star Scale - ?????????????? ?????????? ????????????????????: 5-Star Scale - ?????????????? ???????????? ????????????????????: 5-Star Scale - ?????? ???????? ???????????? ?????? ???? ????????? 5-Star Scale - - Give this post a ?? if you are on this start-up journey or find this valuable.
