    I have thought about this tag line a lot but you're right, it could be more clear. I was trying to avoid using the phrase "make a tee time" as I didn't want to get lumped in to other tee time sites but I may want to rethink this. Thanks.

    We wanted to be different from those other sites and focus on a niche, which is golfers. Also, we have some cool features planned that are directly related to golf.
