What is Eddie's Wordle Golf?
Eddie's Wordle Golf is a private, family-only SMS program that brings the Hiserodt family together through daily Wordle games, scored as rounds of golf. "Eddie" is an AI tribute to Ed Hiserodt, responding to each family member's Wordle results with golf commentary in his voice and spirit.
Each Wordle guess maps to a golf stroke. Get the word in one? That's a hole-in-one. Four guesses is par. Miss it entirely? Well, Eddie will have something to say about that too.
This program is operated by HiserodtEnterprises (Stuart Hiserodt) for the Hiserodt family. It is entirely non-commercial and exists solely to keep the family connected.
