San Francisco, July 21, 2016 – Are you tired of rounding up and writing down the scores in your foursome after every hole? Launching today, GAME GOLF has upgraded its system with a new full-round Live Leaderboard that brings tournament-quality, automatic shot tracking to amateur golfers. The system is now able to instantly record every shot taken by you and your golfing buddies and electronically track your scores in some of the most popular game formats.
The new Live Leaderboard works with the award-winning golf shot tracker, GAME GOLF LIVE and with the stand-alone GAME GOLF App. One golfer organizes the game by opening up the GAME GOLF App, choosing the course and the type of game the group will play (stroke play, match play or team variations of both, with more games to come in the future); then inviting his/her golfing buddies to join. After the other golfers accept and start playing their round, they tag shots to the LIVE device or App as they normally would. At the end of each hole, players can pull up the Live Leaderboard on the App to see everyone’s scores, automatically tracked and updated as they move through the course, along with all the stats on their own shots.
“Nearly every player has mentioned that if they didn’t have to record their scores they could just play and have fun,” said John McGuire, CEO of GAME GOLF. “We are the only system that requires no manual entry of information when all players use GAME GOLF LIVE; and unlike some other devices, we track the entire round, not just the activity with your driver. We have freed you to concentrate on your game and enjoy playing with your friends.”
Live Leaderboard has several features that allow for seamless play. It automatically accounts for handicaps among the players that are loaded into the GAME GOLF system. If a player drops out after nine holes of play, they can easily be removed from the game, while maintaining the other players’ scores. All stat-tracking and display features of GAME GOLF LIVE and the App operate as usual. Editing while in play remains very easy. Users can easily move through screens that show the Leaderboard, or can jump to specific holes or examine particular club statistics. When the round is complete, golfers can share scores and bragging rights through social media.
An additional upgrade is an enhanced rangefinder. “We have removed the toggle button, so now players quickly tap and hold to display the rangefinder and can zoom to 2x the rangefinder’s scope,” added McGuire.
In the past month, GAME GOLF LIVE added features that put the device at the top of the technological pack when it comes to analyzing your game the way the pros do, including a new Pin Placement feature that allows golfers to zoom in on each green and drag the pin to its precise location, and new Auto Hole-Switching that tracks a golfer’s movements from hole to hole, automatically updating the system.
GAME GOLF LIVE is the winner of a Golf Digest 2016 Editor’s Choice Award for Best Game Analyzers and the only wearable analyzer on the Golf Range Association of America (GRAA) annual list of “2016 Top 25 Teaching and Training Aids.” The GAME GOLF App is free and can be downloaded to any iOS or Android phone or smart watch (Apple & Pebble, Android coming soon). Special summer pricing allows golfers to pick up GAME GOLF LIVE for $249 US MSRP (regularly priced at $299) at GAMEGOLF.com, in golf specialty shops and more than 800 green grass pro shops; and on #AmazonLaunchpad.
