Run Your Golf Pool from Claude or ChatGPT
Connect Moving Day to Claude or ChatGPT: set up a pool by describing it, and ask where you stand, how your team is doing and who still has to pick.
Every commissioner knows the moment. You've agreed to run the pool, you open the setup screen, and there it is: team size, scoring method, cut penalty, withdrawal penalty, entry deadline, payouts. None of it is hard. All of it is a decision, and you just wanted the group to be able to pick golfers by Thursday.
So we made the setup screen optional. Connect Moving Day to Claude or ChatGPT - the AI app half your group already has open - and describe the pool you want. It builds it, shows you the rules in plain words, and creates it when you say yes.
What it looks like
Set up a pool for the guys from work for the Masters. 5 golfers, best 4 count, $20 in.
Here's what I'll create - say the word and it's live:Work Masters Pool · The Masters, Apr 8-11
Open picks, 5 golfers · best 4 scores count
Missed cut: even par per round · WD/DQ: +10
Entry $20, paid between members · entries close at the first tee
Looks good. Go.
Done. Here’s the invite link to drop in the group chat: movingday.io/register?invite=…
Anything you don't mention comes from a sensible preset - the same Classic rules most pools run. Want harsher cut penalties, a draft, or a season across the majors? Just say so.
Not just setup
The part of running a pool nobody signs up for is the chasing. “Who still owes me a team?” gets you the list, and “send them a reminder” sends it. Turning registration off, adding your Venmo for entry fees, finding the invite link again - all one sentence.
And it isn't only for the commissioner. Anyone in a pool can connect and ask “where am I in the family pool?”, “did my guys make the cut?” or “what are the rules again?” without opening anything. With Caddie Tips, “who's a good dark horse this week?” gets you the favorites and dark horses for the field.
Who gets what
- Everyone can connect and ask: standings, your team, pick options, live scores, who still has to pick in a pool you run.
- Caddie Tips adds the tips themselves - favorites, dark horses and the Caddie's Take.
- Pro commissioners can run the whole thing by chat: create pools and competitions, change rules and settings, send reminders and make picks.
Nothing happens without a yes
Handing your pool to an AI should feel safe, so every change is a preview first: you see exactly what will be created or changed, and nothing happens until you approve it. It can only do what you could do yourself on the site - picks still lock at the first tee, only commissioners change their pool.
It never sees your password, can't touch your account or billing, and can't move money - Moving Day tracks entry fees, it never collects them. You can disconnect it any time from Settings, and it's cut off immediately.
Connecting takes a minute

- Sign in to Moving Day on the page that opens and press Allow.
- Ask it something about your pool.
