The Golf Joust Story
The Beginning
In the Summer of 2001, Golf Joust began as an online Fantasy Golf site. Those early days required a lot of manual entry, excel formulas and more to produce a game for a large group of friends across the US to play Fantasy Golf.
The Golf Joust family grew beyond the resources and coding skills of the Founder and he managed his last league in 2007. For the next four years, Golf Joust rolled around in the Founder’s mind until the Summer of 2011, when the rise of smartphones gave him an idea to take Golf Joust in a completely new, and innovative direction.
Life as a Mobile App
During the Summer of 2011, the Founder began sketching out Golf Joust as a mobile app for Android, iOS and even Blackberry (remember those?). The idea was to pit golfers in head-to-head “battles” from any golf course, anywhere in the world.
In 2012, the first version of the app launched on iOS and Android to mixed reviews. Several unintended consequences ultimately doomed the app:
- Golfers didn’t trust that their match mate wasn’t cheating, and
- More golf courses than imagined had large “dead spots” where 3G and 4G signals didn’t reach
After several more iterations, Golf Joust was retired from the app stores.
