San Diego, CA USA - Todd McGregor, media contact of BallBound is excited to announce that iPhone mobile users can make reservations from anywhere in the world to more than a thousand golf courses nationwide at discounted rates.

 

McGregor states, "iPhone users will save as much as 70% off tee times with the convenience of anywhere anytime tee time searching and purchasing." The application "Tee Times", available on the itunes Music Store, is unique to the iPhone and the first of its kind to deliver application specific tee time reservations. Users are not required to visit a web page typically not properly formatted for the mobile user. He continues "We wanted the golfer to have the best experience possible when making a reservation by organizing the information in a concise and predictable manner in accordance to Apple's human user interface guidelines."

 

Users can make reservations over AT&T's 3G or Edge network as well as any wireless connection or HotSpot. McGregor continues "You can leave the laptop in the car or not worry about being tied to the office computer in order to make a golf reservation. This is an unprecedented use of technology allowing golfers to reserve a tee time within moments of having the idea no matter where they may be. If you can make a phone call, you can make a reservation." McGregor admits golfers like to show each other up with new toys and gadgets, "When a member of our foursome is responsible for the next round, I can whip out the iPhone and allow the next reservation to be purchased, no more welching." A golfer can choose between one to four players for each reservation. You then have the option to send the reservation confirmation to each member of your party via email, a feature soon to be very popular among golfers.

 

BallBound.com's numerous features include an enhanced search that allow golfers to view tee times side by side and compare rates. Three steps: Select an area, select number of players (1-4), and submit to view search results. Each course listed with their tee times. Tap to select and purchase a tee time or select a new date time and view additional results. In addition there are improved map listings of all the community golf courses as well as detailed course maps and a link to Google maps where a golfer can get driving directions to the golf course of choice. iPhone and iPod Touch owners can download the "Tee Times" application for free at the iTunes Music Store.

 

This first of its kind application is powered by Cypress Golf to better serve Internet customers in booking tee times.
