Wayne, PA – Golf Genius Software reports that the company’s GolfEventGenius tournament administration and scoring software was used to score two high profile Canadian events in June: the PGA Championship of Canada, the PGA of Canada’s premier championship, and the inaugural Golf to Conquer Cancer charity event.
The 64-person match play championship, which took place from June 24-27, featured live scoring administered by the PGA of Canada staff and provided thousands of golf fans around the world with a front-row seat to all of the exciting action. Ultimately, it was Dave Levesque of Pure Golf Experience in Quebec City who came out on top, with a 2 up victory over Bill Walsh of Fairtree Golf Centre in Ontario in the final match.
“Since partnering with Golf Genius Software, not only has our staff use of time become more efficient with the use of the mobile scoring app, but the scoring display for the thousands that follow along online has helped tremendously. The online scoring looked fantastic and the admin side was seamless. As a tournament director, having confidence in your tournament management software is a key to success.”
This year’s championship was also significant because Bill Walsh earned an exemption into the RBC Canadian Open at The Royal Montreal Golf Club following his win in the semifinals.
“We are thrilled with how our software performed for the PGA Championship of Canada, especially our bracket tournament capability which is one of our newest features,” says Golf Genius Software President and CEO Mike Zisman. “Our goal is to provide all of our users with a world-class golf experience, be they the PGA of Canada, a private country club, a public golf course, The First Tee or a group of friends playing in a league. The PGA of Canada was able to keep their members and golf fans across the world informed with up to the second standings for each match.”
GolfEventGenius was also used recently at the first annual Golf to Conquer Cancer event on June 16 at Coppinwood Golf Club in Uxbridge, Ontario. With presenting sponsor Harry Rosen Inc and benefitting The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation, the event proudly raised $800,000, making it the highest-grossing single-day golf tournament supporting the cancer cause across Canada.
