367: Tracking Your Golf Travels & Course Ratings: Exploring the Grassy App with Jacob Safar

Send a text

Welcome to Episode 367 of the Chasing Daylight Podcast! This week, we are joined by a special guest, Jacob Safar, the creator and developer of Grassy.

If you've ever wanted a dedicated platform just to nerd out about golf courses, Grassy is exactly what you've been looking for. Jacob breaks down how he built this iOS-exclusive social platform to help golfers track their travels, rank their favorite courses, and build their ultimate bucket lists.

In this episode, we cover:

• What is Grassy? Think of it like a restaurant review app or "Letterboxd," but specifically curated for golfers to share course photos and reviews.
• The Origin Story: Jacob explains how he developed the first version of the app in less than three weeks out of a coffee shop.
• App Features vs. On-Course Tracking: We discuss why Grassy focuses on the off-course social and discovery experience rather than competing with live GPS trackers like 18Birdies.
• Future Updates: We brainstorm some new features live on the show, from adding a Chasing Daylight group ranking page to a "Pokedex" for golf courses and AI caddy recommendations.
• Massive Giveaway: Jacob shares details on the current Grassy app giveaway, including a Callaway Quantum Max driver and over $500 in PGA Superstore and Grassy gift cards!
