What to look for in a golf group / tee-time app

• No app required for your buddies. If invitees have to download something just to RSVP, half of them won't.
• Real-time RSVP tracking. Who's in, maybe, or out — without scrolling a group text.
• Score tracking that doesn't require typing everything by hand. Photo/AI scorecard scanning saves time after 18.
• Room to grow past a weekly foursome. Multi-day trips with deposits, and full tournament hosting when your group is ready.

Linkside covers all four: SMS-first invites, a live RSVP board, AI scorecard scanning, and golf trip + tournament tools with Stripe entry fees.
