GameBook takes college golf’s scoring to a new level

HOWIE-IN-THE-HILLS, FLA – College Golf’s Live Scoring system is going high-tech and handier finally. A free smart phone app called Golf GameBook is offering live scoring for college tournaments by using a smart phone application. Scores can be followed with this award-winning free app and also from GameBook’s web leaderboard. Players are entering their scores straight to the GameBook app this weekend at Mission Inn Resort, where Mission Inn Spring Spectacular’s final round is underway right now.

Spectators have been thrilled in Mission Inn Resort at Las Colinas golf course this weekend. By downloading a free application from the AppStore they’ve been able to follow their players’ moves on the course live with mobile phone, as well as leave their comments there to cheer the teams.

After launched in last October in Atlanta at United States Collegiate Championships, Golf GameBook has already provided live scoring with its own app on several different college tournaments around the U.S. territories. Feedback has been gloving not only from the spectators but the coaches and players as well. Clearly, this is something what college golf scene has been waiting for a long time.

GameBook strength is extremely friendly user interface, fast and handy functionality and its social aspect. In addition to college golf scoring, the app can be used by anyone while playing golf. Simply just record your score with the GameBook app and your friends can be follow your play in real-time from anywhere in the world – just like on professional golf events. For sure this is a new and fun way to experience golf.

“College Golf is a serious sport so we wanted to develop and customize this innovative live scoring system to fill their needs too. We are convinced that this serves all the parties – old school walkie-talkies are already the things of the past! The great feedback we’ve got proves that we’re on the right track to improve college golf’s live scoring systems. All the Spectators, Coaches and tournament administration are now staring their phones all the time on the course and at the golf club to follow team and individual standings. GameBook saves a lot of time and effort not only on the tournament scoring but also on teams’ everyday life. What would be better system for Coaches than this: They can organize team’s qualifying and practice rounds with GameBook app as well and follow their players’ live scores & leave comments for them in real-time”, says Mikko Rantanen, CEO of GameBook Inc. and All-American ’93 from Georgia Tech.
