We are so excited to be filling Golf fang with single people for the evening! This is not a weird speed dating event...

GLASGOW, we're so excited to be back at our fave... Golf Fang!!

Think golf, drinks, music, a few introductions to groups of people with similar interests and everyone single.

Your ticket includes:

being matched using our technology with groups of people who have similar interests

your round of golf

light optional icebreakers

team haystack making introductions

access to our "missed connections" programme where we invite people to connect who didn't exchange phone numbers (please note this is dependent on both sides expressing interest and there is a process in place)

The plan:

From 6pm - arrive, grab a drink and chat to some new people (94% of people come alone and we float around making intros).

7:30pm - head to your area to meet a group of people who we've used science to curate you with. nothing intense, just some mini golf with people with similar interests, age appropriate and who also happen to be single. we've updated our tech so groups are now optimised for both romantic but also platonic matches e.g people of your gender who we hope could become mates.

the whole point of these groups is to feel like you're having an evening with new friends, with the added bonus of meeting new people and knowing everyone is single.

After groups - everyone speaks to everyone over a few drinks our team are all floating if anyone wants wingmanning and it'll basically become a proper party, with none of the "I wonder if they're single" situation.

Close - Golf Fang stays open until 10pm!

We're a small business and we absolutely bloody love what we do, if you have any questions please get in touch and please feel free to check out our reviews here! (https://www.haystack-dating.com/reviews/)

How are we doing dating differently?

FAQs

Are dating events worth it?

We have worked very hard to make events for single people that don't feel like a typical "dating event" which we know can feel very overwhelming. We just hire out great venues, invest into fun entertainment, and match single people together into groups on the evening so you can go on multiple dates in a low-pressure environment. There are always new dating apps popping up, which all have the same culture of ghosting, shallowness, and let's be honest we can barely keep up with our family's whatsapp chat let alone a dating app.

What are our dating events?

Our events use the power of tech to connect similar single people together. When you arrive to the venue you'll be greeted by our lovely reps, and then you'll be introduced to your matched group. Depending on the event we will introduce you to another one or two rounds of single people, where we match you by differently weighting the parameters of the algorithm. We re-invest profit into fun entertainment on the evening so you have a great night regardless - and host a range of events from relaxed drinks in a beer garden, to something a bit more active like arcade games, to sporty events such as tag rugby or rock climbing.

How do you match single people?

When you buy a ticket you fill out a short form with some questions about yourself mapped around research we conducted to what leads to meaningful connections. We then run this through our algorithm which is a propietary points based matching system using python to detect similarities between each person based on different parameters. We then spend hours going through each person to make sure there has been no discrepancies in the data and even more hours to make sure the group ages and ratios are appropriate. Afterwards we analyse each table to make sure they are placed near tables we think we will match well, and that are in the best place in the venue based on what we know about the group.

How does it work with data?

All data is securely managed in line with our data policy, both this and our code of conduct can be found here (https://haystackdating.github.io/privacy-policy/)

How does it work with social media?

We’re a sociable bunch and always like to take short video clips for our social media. We’ll always avoid faces wherever possible, but if you’d rather stay 100% off camera please just come and let the team know on the night so we can make a conscious effort to keep you out of any frame!

What's the cancellation policy?

There’s a huge amount of work behind the scenes before events to get everyone matched into great groups. If you need to transfer your ticket to a friend, we do ask please that you pop us an email with their name 7 days before an event so we can move things around. As with every other events company in our space, we are unable to facilitate refunds, but we will always do our 100% best to find a solve!x

What’s the age group?

The average age is 33 but we tend to attract from early 20s to mid 40s and groupings take age into account.

Is this event wheelchair accessible?

Yes, we will never work with a venue th
