| OUR HISTORY |
 |
|
In the Beginning.....LastMinuteGolfer got its start in Atlanta, GA in 1998 (www.lmtt.com). We concentrated on providing Atlanta visitors and locals with the most accurate and current information on Atlanta's best golf courses, and we booked "last minute" tee times for visitors to the Atlanta area. We contacted all the local courses each night and helped them fill up their tee-sheets.
December '99- Present...In late 1999, we introduced our online interface to allow golfers to book tee times online... providing access to tee times in Atlanta 24/7/365. Since '99, we have continued to improve our online reservation/ call center system, promoting the game of golf nationwide and providing golfers with the most user-friendly (and rewarding) way to find a tee time. We now serve hundreds of thousands of golfers in dozens of cities. Several hundred participating golf courses post tee times to our site; they control the inventory and the pricing of tee times that are posted. Some courses offer "last minute" greens fee specials. Golfers that are "flexible" and willing to prepay "last minute" golf continue to find our service increasingly valuable. Golfers now earn frequent golfer "yards" each time they book a tee times; these yards are redeemable towards free golf at hundreds of courses nationwide. In
late 2005, we began promoting golf packages which gives our members a great way to take advantage of last minute vacations offered by some of the top resorts in North America.
In July of 2007 The US Patent and TradeMark office awarded
LastMinuteGolfer a
Patent covering the most convenient interface
to show tee times to golfers. In August of 2007, we released a Facebook Application for golfers-
Golf Buds.
