Fill an open spot without a phone tree

Gimme keeps a sub pool for each league and can text it for you. When a golfer marks themselves out, Gimme can text the pool in priority order until someone says yes, and the sub plays on the handicap your league rules set. Subs can be invited without creating a full account.

Sub pool texting opens for the 2027 season on League Pro and Course. Join the waitlist and we email you once.

How an open spot gets filled

A golfer taps “can’t make it.” The commissioner is told, and with texting turned on the sub pool is contacted one at a time in the order the commissioner set, until a sub accepts. The commissioner can also pick a sub by hand.

Fair handicaps for subs

A sub plays on the handicap your league rules set. Some leagues use the sub’s own league handicap, some use the handicap of the golfer they replace, and some use a fixed number. It is a setting, so it is applied the same way every week.

  • A sub can be invited by text or email and does not need an account to be added
  • Texting the pool is part of League Pro and Course. League plans can still manage the pool and pick subs by hand
