The idea
Fore! Pints & Craic began as a simple site for two friends working their way round all 86 golf courses in Northern Ireland: where they'd played, what they scored, and which clubhouse pint was worth the drive.
Other golfers wanted in, so the site became a product. Anyone can now sign up, take on the 86 on their own or with a crew, and keep a record that's theirs.
How it's built
A fast web app that installs on a phone like a native app. More than 270 automated tests run before every release, so new features never break the ones people already rely on.
The 86, mapped
Every golf course in Northern Ireland on one map, with each player’s progress filled in as they go.
Solo or with a crew
Play on your own or with friends. Your record follows you, and the crew keeps its own shared history.
Badges worth chasing
More than 40 badges, from finishing the Causeway Coast to the courses that have hosted the Open.
Scoring on the course
Enter scores hole by hole on your phone, or photograph the scorecard and confirm what it reads.
Made to be shared
Share cards for social media, built automatically for every round and badge.
Privacy built in
Each player chooses who sees their profile: everyone, their crew, or no one.
