Details: Fairgame is essentially a social media app for golf, allowing players to discover new courses, track their stats and connect with fellow golfers. The app is free, with plans to roll out additional paid features later on. The intrigue: Players can log on-course wagers and try out other betting games to up the ante.The app doesn't exchange money, though, so you'll still have to square up in the clubhouse. State of play: Mayville fell in love with golf after playing with his father and grandfather at area courses like St. Albans and Minerva.He later founded in New York City and opened an office back in Columbus — returning often since then to hit the links with friends and colleagues.
