Who owns it & the data
Encore owns it
harvests member data for ads
Thorntree owns it · your data stays yours
"Everything your current app does — tee times, scorecard, GPS, ordering, leaderboards — plus a real AI caddy, a 24/7 AI receptionist, a pro shop that sells online, and the management system underneath. One platform Thorntree owns, not a rented template that sells your members to advertisers."
