It's a wiki for golf courses. I am a bit embarrassed to love golf, but want to create a platform for smaller courses to be seen along side their private fancy counterparts. I currently lose a dozen or so dollars per month to run it, but that will increase as the site grows. I'm not entirely sure how I'll run it if it ever really takes off. I've considered trying for c3 status, because I don't really need the money, but I'm not sure whether or not that would be the limitations imposed by that would be.
The one thing I want do want to say is that I want courses that are open to the public to be able to use the materials created on the wiki at their location. An entry can be as simple as a blurb with a link to the course website, or as complex as a detailed mapping of the entire course and greens (the different color flags on the homepage indicate different levels of detail).
So, if someone maps a public course, that course can use that person's work on their scorecards instead of hiring and outside graphic designer. It effectively allows public courses to get detailed course guides for free and sell them onsite to raise revenues, but also provides a free alternative for folks online. I want it to be a way that people can casually spend their time to reduce the costs of golf, especially for cash-strapped municipal courses. Golf is too expensive, and this site should be a way to reduce the costs and make the game more accessible in general.
