Linking up golfers

TEN years ago, Deemples founder David Wong faced a dilemma. He wanted to play golf more often, but his friends’ schedules rarely matched up with his. Frustrated by the lack of available partners, he searched online for a digital app that could help him connect with more golfers.

“There were platforms out there like Uber for helping people find drivers, Foodpanda for finding food, Tinder for finding dates, Airbnb for finding rental houses, and so on. I figured someone would have built a platform for finding golfers,” Wong recalls.
