Frequently Asked Questions
Question – What is FOF Golf?
Answer – FOF Golf is to golfers what “recruitment web sites” are for job vacancies, but instead of Employers and Staff, we are connecting friends and golf courses, which is a lot more fun. Our mission is to help you discover the golf courses you are connected to, both directly through your friends and indirectly through a Friend of a Friend (FOF) and help you play more golf at different courses.
Question – How much does FOF Golf Cost?
Answer – NOTHING…. At the heart of FOF Golf lies an unwavering commitment to accessibility. This platform will always be free for users. There will never be fees or paywalls restricting your ability to connect, share, and engage with your friends. Your experience here is not measured by a transaction, but by the relationships you create and the memories you share.
Question – Can other users on FOF Golf see or contact my friends?
Answer – In contrast to public social media, your FOF Golf friends list is kept private — visible only to you. However, your friends are able to see the golf courses you’re associated with, whether that’s through your own connection or via friend of a friend. This method protects your privacy.
Question – Will I be contacted by people I don’t know on the site?
Answer – NO… Unlike many other platforms or WhatsApp groups, FOF Golf is not about open access, that overwhelms members of desirable courses with game requests from strangers. Instead, all introductions within FOF Golf depend on your existing friendships. We place the power and responsibility in your hands to determine who you connect (see How it Works)
Question – Why does FOF Golf want to know what equipment I use?
Answer – “#1 Driver on Tour” claims are usually about endorsement deals, not what golfers really use. At FOF Golf, we ask what gear you actually play with, then share honest, up-to-date info with our community. This way, your choices are based on real performance—not just marketing.
