Our
Story
​
My name is Forest MacKenzie. I started ScratchPad with one goal in mind: to bring back the feeling of sitting down and enjoying a game of skill and luck. Not an app, a game. I started ScratchPad going into my Senior year of college at the University of Louisville. I graduated with a degree in Neuroscience. My passion is inventing, especially games. I channel my understanding of the human mind to develop games that challenge you in new and exciting ways. I believe in the raw value of games and competition. It’s the greatest way to sharpen strategy, decision-making, and execution. Without competition, we would settle. I took my love for competition, my passion for inventing, and my understanding of the human brain to craft the perfect mixture of all three: The ScratchPad.
This is the game where it’s finally encouraged to let your toxic competitive side out. I hope friendships crumble over the pursuit for the Golden Tee. If there is one thing I can confidently tell you about ScratchPad, it's that you will do whatever it takes to win.
​
Thank you for trying my game. Without our loyal ScratchPad family none of this would be possible.

Our main goal is to make the game of golf accessible to all. We recognize the barrier of entries that are associated with golf. It is our hope that with ScratchPad we can help lower those barriers and expose more people to the general play of golf. We see ScratchPad as an opportunity to unite. We picture a grandfather playing with his children and grandchildren. We picture the joy and smiles on the people who sink a long putt or make an impossible hole-in-one. We also picture the near misses, the water shots, and the agony of defeat. . ScratchPad was founded in a dream of what could be, and now, here it is!
While we continue to grow and learn how to become the most accessible game possible, we have highlighted below a few of our steps!
