What ALBA Does (And What It Doesn’t)
ALBA isn’t a golf club. It isn’t a tee time app. It’s something new.
We built ALBA to help golfers find people to play with, organise rounds without the admin headache, and finally enjoy the social side of the game, without gatekeeping.
Here’s what it does. And just as importantly, what it doesn’t.
Why We Built ALBA
Golf is amazing. But it can also be lonely, frustrating, and a nightmare to organise if you’re not in a club. Traditional routes weren’t working for most modern golfers.
We wanted a better way to:
Meet other players
Play more often
Make golf feel welcoming again

What ALBA Doesn’t Do
❌ We don’t book the course for you—golfers organise the round directly
❌ We’re not a scoring app (yet)
❌ We don’t gatekeep who gets to play—we’re built for everyone
❌ We’re not a replacement for golf clubs—but we’re a great addition
