About Us

ParTeeOf18 is a golf game management app built by golfers, for golfers. Founded in 2024 by Joseph Ruggiero and Chris Karkota, it brings live scoring, 12+ game formats, side bet tracking, team randomization, 3D green maps, and a USGA Authorized Handicap Data Affiliate. Everything in one platform.

Our Story

In 2024, golf enthusiasts Joseph Ruggiero and Chris Karkota joined a private golf club and quickly found themselves immersed in weekly member events. The competition was exhilarating but the process was pure chaos. Tracking bets, randomizing teams, and keeping matches fair was clunky, slow, and scattered across too many apps.

That frustration sparked an idea: what if golfers had one simple, powerful tool that did it all? No juggling spreadsheets, no manual calculations, no confusion. Just seamless organization and more time spent playing the game.

With that vision, ParTeeOf18 was born the all-in-one golf platform built by players, for players.

Our Mission

At ParTeeOf18, our mission is clear: Simplify golf game organization so every round is fair, fun, and effortless. We believe technology should enhance the game, not distract from it. By automating the messy parts like bets, teams, and scoring - we keep the focus exactly where it should be: on the joy of the game and the camaraderie of players.

Why We Built It Why We Built It

Golf is about tradition, but the way we organize games hasn't kept up with the times. Too many apps focus on one piece of the puzzle - scoring, GPS, or stats - leaving players juggling tools and wasting time.

We wanted to create something holistic, a single platform that:

  • Saves time before and during rounds
  • Reduces disputes by automating fairness
  • Strengthens camaraderie through smooth play
  • Brings modern simplicity to a classic game

The Future of Golf The Future of Golf

Joseph and Chris didn't just want to fix a problem — they wanted to reimagine how golfers interact with the game itself.

With ParTeeOf18, the future of golf means:

  • No more clunky apps or scattered tools
  • No more confusion over bets or teams
  • No more wasted time organizing instead of playing

It’s not just about managing a game; it’s about elevating the entire golfing experience.
