“Following the success of our Live Scoring Tournament Service, PGA Professionals and club managers requested year-round access to the VPAR technology to manage and enhance all of their golf tournaments and events,” says VPAR President and Managing Director Jason Stoop. “Working closely with a number of clubs and pros, we’ve designed it specifically to their needs.”
Club representatives visiting VPAR at Booth #3127 at the Orange County Convention Center are eligible for a show discount on the Club Platform. Also on display will be the VPAR mobile app and Live Scoring Tournament Service – which allow amateur golfers to enjoy the pro-like thrill of real-time leaderboards on the course.
Last year the VPAR Tournament Service was used to score over 1,000 outings worldwide for organizations like Audi, Shoprite, The Ronald McDonald House and the New York Yankees. The VPAR app was also a Top-5 “Sports” app during the PGA TOUR season and was recently featured in Golf Digest, The New York Times and Golfweek.
