Recommendation: Release it as a beta/working product and tell them they are the privileged few to get it and that their usage and feedback will decide the future of this product that might somebody make millions of dollars.

People like to feel important and people like to support that seem to have a potential to rise.

Anyway, spread it selectively among golfers like this till you have around 200 users. By far the best people to try and approach for you might be either the gold course managers or better still, get the caddy's who work there your app and tell them that they can give it out to only 5 people etc. They will slowly build up your user base with their excitement of the product (if they are excited and it's relevant to them). These people, due to our age, experience and optimism will take this as a privilege and will be able to to talk passionately about it. That's exactly the behavior you want from your first 100 users. Also, watch what your users do very carefully and take the time out to talk to them. No shortcuts.

Thanks Svetha for your input and encouragement! My dilemma is to build it on iOS or Android? But eitherways - I've gotta start. For me next step is to finalize the wireframes and approach the golf courses!
