About Kismet Golf

D1 golf. A decade of engineering. One mission.

Building the future
Our story
Why Kismet Exists
After a D1 golf career and a decade in software engineering, our founder had seen both sides—what great golf events look like, and how painful the logistics can be. Organizers were duct-taping together spreadsheets, Venmo, Google Forms, and endless email threads just to pull off a single event. We knew there had to be a better way. So we built it.

Today, Kismet powers charity tournaments, corporate outings, and fundraisers across the country. But we're not just building software—we're trying to give organizers their time and sanity back. Every feature starts with the same question: does this make the organizer's life easier? If the answer isn't yes, it doesn't ship. We'd rather do a few things really well than overwhelm you with features you'll never use.

A note from our founder

“I've been a software engineer for 10 years. I grew up golfing and played in college. I've seen how messy tournament planning gets—spreadsheets everywhere, payments in one place, scoring in another.

The people who run charity tournaments and corporate outings put in real work. They deserve better tools.

So I built Kismet.”

Our impact beyond technology

Golf tournaments raise money, bring people together, and create moments worth remembering. We're proud to help organizers do that—without drowning in logistics. Every event we power is a chance for someone to raise more, stress less, and actually enjoy the day they worked so hard to plan.
