Our Story
Bringing the clubhouse to public golf.
We're Levi and Gavin. We grew up in Los Angeles and played on the golf team together at Palisades Charter High School. Some of our best memories came from golf: not just the rounds, but the people we met, the regulars we got to know, and the community that formed around the course.
At a private club, that community comes built in. Members know each other, hear about everything happening at the course, and always have a game. Most golfers play public courses, though, and that sense of belonging is much harder to find.
We built TeeTalk from scratch to change that. We talked with more than 200 golfers and kept hearing the same things: they wanted an easier way to find people to play with and a better way to stay connected to the courses they love. TeeTalk gives every course's community a home, where golfers post tee times, fill their foursomes, and track their rounds, and courses can reach their regulars in one tap.
Our goal is simple: grow the game, make golf more accessible, and bring course communities closer together.
We're starting in Santa Barbara, one course at a time.

Community first
Golf is better with people. Everything we build should help golfers find each other and feel at home at their course.
Grow the game
Golf should be easy to get into and easy to find a game. We want more people playing, and playing together.
Built for public golf
Most golfers play public courses. They deserve the same connection and belonging private club members have always had.
