The philosophy behind Golfmates.com is simple: Golf is the perfect first date. Why? It's a sport men and women can enjoy playing together. The sport provides an instantaneous icebreaker—a common interest that two people can discuss. Golf is a relaxing, safe, outdoor activity that provides ample opportunities for socializing between shots. What is more, after nine or 18 holes, a round of golf comes to an end—if two people are not compatible, the end of the round is the end of the date.

Golfmates.com is wholly owned and operated by Hudson Avenue Technologies LLC, a provider of online personal ads based in Omaha, Nebraska. The company also owns and operates Tennisdate.com, the leading online personals site designed for the tennis community.

The demand for online dating services is growing explosively. The number of U.S. citizens using online personal ads is expected to reach 24 million by 2007. The United States National Golf Foundation estimates that there are more than 26 million golfers over the age of 18 in the United States. Sixty percent of golfers in the United States own home computers, and 90 percent use computers at work. Fifty-eight percent of golfers in the United States use the Internet.

In this busy world, we're excited about the potential of online personals and we're dedicated to bringing active, healthy adults together in the enjoyment of sports—and each other.
