Three people. Ninety years of building systems that can't go wrong.
Banking, payments, fraud, retail, treasury and reconciliation — the systems where a rounding error is a headline. Then six years applying all of it to golf: memberships, complex payments, competition integration and club websites. We're not a golf startup that learned enterprise software. We're enterprise architects who learned golf.
The three of us
Most golf software companies won't tell you who built their platform. Here's ours — and when you call, these are the people who answer.
Rick

- UI and graphic design agency background
- Front-end engineering and design systems
- Every nooQ club and county site, designed in-house
David
One of the most experienced and best solution & system architects there is — legal, banking and retail systems where integration, performance and security are not negotiable.
- Enterprise integration for major UK banks and retailers
- Business process automation and systems design
- Performance, security and consultancy at scale
Graeme
Award-winning entrepreneur with a career across banking, government fraud, payments, manufacturing consultancy, sales and design — and a 2-handicap golfer who knows the problem from the members' side too.

Best of breed wasn't a strategy. It was the obvious answer.
Six years inside golf taught us something the incumbents can't admit: no single vendor is best at everything. GolfGenius runs competitions better than anyone. Lightspeed and EPOS Now run tills properly. Xero and Sage run accounts. Clubs are told they must throw all of that away to get one system that does each job adequately.
We came at it from the other direction — the way you'd architect a bank. Let the specialists specialise, and build the layer that makes them behave as one system: integration, automation, web and analytics. That's the job we're actually expert in, and it's the job nobody else in golf was doing.
We know ClubV1 and Intelligent Golf inside out. We didn't set out to replace them — we set out to make everything talk to everything, with the accounting, treasury and reconciliation discipline that golf software has never had.
What we know that golf software doesn't
Every one of these is a place where enterprise discipline changes what's possible for a golf club.
Money That Balances Itself
Treasury and reconciliation thinking from banking — which is why 98%+ of payments match automatically instead of landing in a spreadsheet for someone to chase.
Real Two-Way APIs
Systems integration is our actual profession. Live, two-way, resilient — not nightly CSV exports dressed up as an integration.
Process Automation With Judgement
We automate the repetitive work and leave the human decisions to humans — with approvals, audit trails and exception handling designed in from the start.
Security & Performance By Default
Built to the standards of banking and government systems: UK/EU hosted, hardened, and fast enough for a Saturday morning rush.
Complex Data, Done Properly
Members, handicaps, comps, tills, accounts and web traffic resolved to one member record — the hard part everyone else skips.
We Actually Play
Six years in golf and a 2-handicapper on the team. We've sat on committees, run leagues and waited for results like everyone else.
