Forelinx.com: Golf’s newest online booking experience

Published

11 years ago

Mar 27, 2015

Former professional golfer, Danny Wax, wants to turn “booking a tee time into an experience.”

For him, the concept is simple. Many golfers use the game as part recreational outlet and part opportunity to network. Wax’s endeavor is aimed at making this a more seamless process whereby any player can find the group to play with — and ultimately making lasting connections.

Expect member courses to be moderate in price — not the city muni, but not the $200 daily fee course either.

Wax graduated from the University of Denver in 2009 with a degree in Business Administration. From there, he competed on the Nationwide Tour (currently Web.com tour) for three years before returning home to Santa Monica, Calif., and putting his undergraduate degree to work.

While on tour, Wax had the experience with which many of us empathize. You meet some great people, make some promising contacts, but struggle to ever really make and keep a lasting connection. Maybe you exchange business cards or contact information and promise to “be in touch,” but we all know what typically happens. Danny and Forelinx.com are looking to change all of that.

Forelinx.com is a hybrid — social platform meets online tee-time service — which as Wax defines it is, “a modern platform for golfers to connect.” At this time, there is no subscription fee and in four clicks you can login with your LinkedIn account, find a group, make a tee time and be on your way. It’s really that simple.

Forelinx.com is not like other online booking sites. It is not a coupon or discount site, so expect to pay full boat. Wax sees this as a win-win-win. Courses get third party help filling up tee sheets, golfers get to play a round with people who share common professions or have similar handicaps and Wax receives a cut of the green fees.

The service went live on Jan. 1 of this year, and currently has 450 members and 1,500 courses. The hope is to have 5,000 members by the end of the first year, with the target client, millennial males, in their 20s and 30s. What Forelinx.com ultimately morphs into is entirely dependent on who uses the service and how they interact with it.

Each registered member creates a profile with basic personal and professional information.

Because of its infancy and the malleable nature of the product, it’s hard to say exactly what this might look like in a year, but Wax says in the next 3-to-4 months to expect some partnerships and platforms that have the potential to really shake up the online tee time booking market.

Finding your next regular foursome or business deal might be a lot easier than you thought.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
jgrzask: “Tommy Armour 845u
