• At GLOF, we want to change the way we, the golfing public, get our golf games booked at ANY given golf course and have the ability to choose whom we play with, and, if necessary, change groups, times or preferences pertinent to that game. All while sitting at home or anywhere via a computer or smartphone.
• We want to provide an AFFORDABLE solution to achieve this.
• Our intention is to give golfers like us not only an easy quick booking method, but the confidence that our booking(s) are FIRM, along with a confirmation email sent any time there is a change.

We are based in the Blue Mountains, Australia

Over a few of years of playing golf together, Tarun & Richard spoke often and at length about ways to lessen the workload of people that are responsible for organising golf events for groups. Richard, being the President of the Blue Mountains Veterans Golf Association (BMVGA) knew only too well of the overheads involved: emails flying back and forth, accommodating changes to plans, communicating with all the players and Pros etc.

A significant amount of time is taken up doing mundane tasks that could be automated.

We started with a small "robot" emailer system and now are working on continually expanding GLOF functionality - anything to make organising golf events a simpler task.

Richard was born and raised in Sydney, the third of five children. Middle child syndrome seemed to formulate the skill set that he grew into adulthood with.

Richard's passion for problem solving and knowledge acquisition has led him on a constant trek through life and career. At age 7, he showed he had a good understanding of things mechanical, building a 1949 BSA Bantam motorcycle (from a crate full of parts). Even making clutch medium from spent wine corks.

Then at 15 deciding to become a spring maker whilst Australian conscription laws were in full swing. This was in the mistaken belief that springmakers don’t go to war as springs are needed for guns.

Other trade qualifications followed, Motor Mechanic, Auto Electrician, Boiler Maker & Electronic Technician. It was about then Richard realised you didn’t need the ‘piece of paper’ to be proficient in any given field.

At age 50, Richard decided he would learn guitar & can now play adequately. Though as is always the case, he couldn’t be satisfied only learning to play guitar so decided to make a guitar. This has turned into a few decent guitars & banjos.

Now in retirement the four G’s are what motivates him (Goodwife, Grandkids, Guitar & Golf ) though the order they are ranked is revised daily.

Tarun started playing Golf at age 49, just before retiring from corporate life, and is now madly addicted to the sport.

Tarun originally hails from India, where golf is not readily available to the general public. In fact, anything other than studies are not normally encouraged by most parents due to the extreme competitiveness when it comes to finding jobs once one grows up.

Tarun's career was in the IT industry and he has worked in India, America and Australia, consulting for clients from all kinds of industries and from across the world.

Now Tarun runs his own website, www.SelectiveTests.com.au that helps put bread on the table and allows him to spend more time on the golf course.

In his free time, Tarun loves to travel, watch movies, sample different beers and learn golf moves from YouTube! Any outdoor activity: camping, fishing, hiking and the likes are where his heart truly lies.
