GolfN Was Just Featured on MyGolfSpy: Here's What They Found

If you've ever searched for golf apps that give out free merch and gear, or wondered which platforms help golfers earn discounts and real equipment just by playing, MyGolfSpy just answered the question.

Writer John Barba published a deep-dive on GolfN last week for one of the most respected independent voices in golf media. The piece is titled "This Golf App Pays You In Real Gear Just For Playing." If you're not familiar with GolfN, it's a great primer into this all-new type of golf app.

Barba did something we appreciate: he actually ran the numbers. He modeled out a real scenario: a golfer who wants a custom set of Miura KM-700 irons, maps out a Diamond membership, and finds that earning the points to redeem for that $3,150 set gets you over $1,300 off retail. That is not a hypothetical. That is the way this is supposed to work.

He also looked at how fast points accumulate in practice. Seven rounds with a Gold Membership can get you around 47,000 points. For most golfers, that is a normal stretch of the season.

The Pro Shop got attention too. GolfN founder Jared Phillips told Barba that the core concept is giving away the basic functionality that everybody else charges for, then making it more like credit card rewards for golf: the more you play, the more you engage in the app, the more points you can earn toward things you actually care about.

The results back it up. Within the first couple of weeks of bringing Miura on board, GolfN sold $26,000 worth of clubs.

The comments section said it better than we could. Reader Sabby Piscatelli wrote: "I spent $2,400 for a year of GolfN and I am the guy with a new Miura set of irons. I could buy another two sets with the points I've accumulated."

That is what playing with GolfN gets you.

For golfers looking for the best app to win free golf equipment by playing, the answer is on the scorecard.
