NEW ORLEANS, LA (JUNE 26, 2001) - True Peers (http://www.truepeers.com)
announces the launch of Golf Peers, an online service that helps
golfers find playing partners for upcoming matches.
Using a combination of handicap, playing rate, location, occupation and other characteristics, golfers can search for potential playing partners or wait for invitations to play. Registration and matching services are free. Golf Peers solves a couple of classic golfing problems. By allowing players to find others to play with it helps courses eliminate singles, doubles and triples allowing the course to fill each of its available playing slots. For players it means always having a stream of playing partners that match their own playing standard hence they get to play more golf and happier golf. True Peers' CEO Paul White likens the selection of playing partners to that of a date. "When you play golf with someone you're effectively married to your playing partners for the next 4 hours. With today's hectic pace those hours are likely to be your only leisure time that week so it's vitally important to spend it with the right people. "In golf that means players who play at your pace and within a reasonable range of your handicap and that can be hard to come by when you're simply saddled with a guy on his own who wants to play. Golf Peers solves this problem by letting players pre-screen their prospective playing partners online before they even get to the course."
With a goal of helping golfers play more golf, Golf Peers lets golfers
search for playing partners anywhere in the U.S. "We believe
one of Golf Peers' greatest strengths is the ability to search for
relevant playing partners anywhere, not just your home town. No
longer does the out of town business trip have to be a golf free
zone, you can simply bring your clubs and search for a match."
added White.
Leveraging True Peers' expertise in online professional networking Golf Peers also enhances golfers' business networking opportunities through its use of personal profiles that golfers can review before setting up or accepting to play in matches.
