# The golf-tech ecosystem behind golfx402

> golfx402 is one of a family of golf software built by the same team, and it runs on a small stack of open standards. This page maps both: the sister products that make a booking real, and the protocols that carry it.

## The golf software family

- **[TeeWire](https://teewire.com/)** — the golf course management platform: tee sheet, POS, online booking, and billing on one system. golfx402 books live inventory from courses on the TeeWire network, and reservations write to [the course's own tee sheet](https://teewire.com/tee-sheet-software).
- **[Golf Signals](https://golfsignals.com/)** — demand intelligence and dynamic pricing for golf courses. It turns a course's own rounds into live demand curves and [a suggested fee for every tee time](https://www.golfsignals.com/dynamic-pricing/), which is why the price an agent is quoted moves with real demand.
- **[CourseLogix](https://www.course-logix.com/)** — where the family started. It has built golf course websites, online booking, and digital marketing since 2004, and now operates as TeeWire. Golf Signals and golfx402 are part of the same family.

## The open standards golfx402 is built on

- **[x402](https://x402.org/)** — an open payment protocol built on the HTTP 402 status code. The agent pays and retries, settling in the same round-trip with no human checkout. Originated by Coinbase, backed by the x402 Foundation.
- **[Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/)** — an open standard from Anthropic for connecting AI assistants to tools. golfx402 runs an MCP server so any MCP-capable assistant can call its booking tools.
- **[HTTP 402 Payment Required](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Status/402)** — the HTTP status code x402 is built on. Reference on MDN.
- **[USDC](https://www.circle.com/usdc)** — a fully-reserved US dollar stablecoin from Circle, the typical asset used to settle an x402 payment.
