FairwayNation

Run the tournament, keep more for the cause. Registration and payments, sponsor packages, pairings and tee sheets, live scoring and a branded event site — the five tools an organizer usually juggles, in one, with fees that don't quietly eat the fundraiser.

The problem

A charity tournament is usually a spreadsheet, a separate payment link, a group text and paper scorecards — and money leaks out of every seam through fees and unclear accounting. The tournament that raises money for a cause should keep as much of it as possible.

What I built

One platform for the whole day. Secure registration with team and sponsor packages, hole sponsorships, raffles and donations. Automated or manual pairings for shotgun or tee-time starts. Live scoring and leaderboards that update in real time from players’ phones with no app to install. Email and SMS for confirmations, reminders and day-of updates, and a branded event website with registration and leaderboard pages. On the day, a companion check-in app on iOS handles arrivals and takes walk-up payments through Stripe Terminal card readers. Set it up in an hour and run the day like a championship.
