Golf societies deserve better than a spreadsheet.

Most golf societies run on the same three tools: a spreadsheet someone inherited from the previous captain, a WhatsApp group that scrolls past anything useful within a day, and a paper card that gets counted up - and occasionally argued over - back at the clubhouse. None of these were built for running a golf day. They're just what was available.

Gimmi exists because organising a golf society shouldn't be a part-time admin job. Someone volunteers to run the fixtures, chase the entry money, build the draw, and keep the Order of Merit up to date - usually on top of an actual job, and usually because nobody else will. That person deserves tools built specifically for what they're doing, not a general-purpose spreadsheet stretched to cover it.

The Ryder Cup is the clearest example. It's the one day a society builds its whole year around - teams, colours, points, bragging rights - and it deserves better than a printed team sheet and someone doing mental arithmetic on the back nine. So does a regular Saturday medal, a weekly rollup, or a season-long Order of Merit nobody wants to re-total by hand.

Gimmi is built around one idea: the people playing don't need to be technical for the software to work well. A member should be able to open a link, enter a score, and get back to their round - not create an account, learn an interface, or ask someone else how it works. The organiser should spend their evening enjoying the result, not compiling it.

None of this is really about the software. It's about the day itself - the draw going out, the leaderboard tightening on the back nine, the result landing in the group chat, and everyone already looking forward to next time. Gimmi just tries to get out of the way of that.
