About the App

BirdieFriends started as a simple fix — organizing a group of players who love golf but hate the group text chaos of "who's in Saturday?" What began as a weekend signup form grew into a full app managing rounds, special events, and the BF Championship Series. It's become an active community of golfers who just want to show up and play.

The app handles the rest — so you can tee off and play great.
