Jared Phillips is the CoFounder and CEO of GolfN.

In this episode, we dive into GolfN, a new golf rewards app built on Solana that lets you earn crypto and other rewards for playing golf, tracking your game, and sharing your love of golf with friends. With over 40,000 golfers on the waitlist and an app launch just around the corner, GolfN is one of the most promising new consumer apps built on Web3 rails, delivering crypto-native rewards that users can benefit from without ever needing to think about the tech behind it.
