Connect and Play: New Disc Golf App Fosters Community

A brand-new disc golf app has landed on the market, aiming to revolutionize the way players connect and play the sport. Pure'd Disc Golf is a free app that allows users to discover and join local games, find fellow enthusiasts with similar schedules and skill levels, and engage with curated content designed to help them improve their game.

The idea behind Pure'd was born out of its founder's own experiences as a beginner in disc golf. Caleb Rancourt, who now serves as president of his local club, spent countless hours at the practice basket waiting for someone to show up and play. It wasn't until he finally met his best friends and joined their club that he felt truly part of the community.

Inspired by this experience, Rancourt set out to create an app that would make it easier for new players to connect with others in their area. Pure'd focuses on the social aspect of disc golf, allowing users to post or join upcoming rounds, view curated content, and even find "women only" groups for female players.

One of the standout features of Pure'd is its simplicity. Unlike other apps that may include features like likes and comments, Pure'd keeps things streamlined with in-app messaging and no scoring platform. This approach allows users to connect without sharing their phone numbers or relying on digital scoring tools.

The development of Pure'd has been a labor of love for Rancourt, who has dedicated himself full-time to the project since fall 2022. With no outside investors to support him, he had to get creative, teaching himself software and building a prototype to keep costs low. He even led his own UI/UX team to further reduce expenses.

Although the app is still in its early stages, Pure'd has already attracted some notable pro ambassadors, including Madison Walker, Chandler Fry, Erika Stinchcomb, and Gregg Barsby. As the app continues to grow, new features are scheduled for release later this year.

With Pure'd, players can now easily connect with others, find local games, and improve their skills – all while staying true to the sport's community-driven spirit.
