Golfnesia

Golfnesia

Co-Founder & CTO

Tee-time booking for inbound travellers, built in three months by two engineers.

Case study

An Indonesia-Japan joint venture for golfers flying in from abroad.

  1. 01

    The problem

    Golfers flying into Indonesia needed a way to book their tee times before they landed.

  2. 02

    What I did

    I built Golfnesia.com, the booking platform, plus Golftex, the multi-course management system that ran behind it. Three months, two engineers, and I was one of them.

  3. 03

    The result

    The product worked. The market didn't move fast enough, and we shut it down knowing the product-market fit wasn't there. I count it as the cheapest lesson of my career: Tiket.com started within the same year and went on to a billion dollars in bookings.
