Golf events are supposed to be fun. But if you’ve ever planned one, you know they can also be a logistical mess - juggling registrations, payments, tee times, sponsors, and emails across too many tools (or worse, spreadsheets).
That’s exactly why we created Kismet.
Kismet is golf event software built by people who’ve actually played in - and organized - real golf outings. Whether you’re running a small charity scramble, a corporate tournament, or a full-day fundraiser, Kismet gives you a simpler way to get organized, get paid, and look professional.
Built from the Ground Up by a Golfer
Kismet was founded by Kat Slump, a former Division 1 golfer and experienced software engineer. After helping organize dozens of tournaments and seeing the chaos that often goes with it, she saw a better way.
With a background building products at Apple and several high-growth startups, Kat set out to design something specifically for golf organizers - not a generic event platform or another bulky tool built for big tours. The result is a tool that’s fast to use, easy to learn, and tailored for golf events of all kinds.
What You Can Do with Kismet
Here’s what organizers use Kismet for:
- Launch a live event website in under 5 minutes
- Collect player registrations and payments (without chasing people on Venmo)
- Offer sponsor packages and track donations
- Set up tee times or shotgun pairings
- Send custom emails and updates to players
It’s all in one place, and it’s just $199 per event + 4$/player.
Why Organizers Are Switching
Other tools either weren’t built for golf, or they charge by the player - which doesn’t make sense for a format like a scramble or shamble. Kismet keeps it simple: a flat rate per event, with everything included.
Most importantly, it’s not just a tool - it’s a reflection of how golf events actually run: sometimes fast, sometimes last-minute, often by people who have full-time jobs and are volunteering their time.
Kismet makes you look organized, even if it’s your first time.
