SPARK GOLF GROWS TO MORE THAN 100 LEAGUES ACROSS 60 U.S. CITIES
Emerging golf tech business is now the largest community of recreational golf leagues
Orlando-based Spark Golf continues its rapid growth by expanding its 2019 golf league footprint. Spark is now on pace to operate more than 100 golf leagues across 60 U.S cities by the end of May.
Following a successful 2018 launch in which Spark operated 23 leagues across 6 cities, the company is now focused on scaling in 2019. “2018 was an important year for Spark as we launched our league communities and player app which received overwhelmingly positive feedback from roughly one thousand league players,” says Charlie Klaus, Co-Founder & CEO of Spark Golf. “We continue to focus on providing technology-enhanced experiences that bring people together to play golf,” Klaus says.
Driven by the Spark Golf mobile app, Spark’s 9-hole, recreational leagues are fun, social and contain just the right amount of competition. Much like many of the lighthearted adult softball and bowling leagues across the country, 8-round leagues take place on weekday evenings, beginning in April or May. League players team up in 2-person teams and “compete” weekly against other like-minded, local players. The Spark app engages its league community with on-course scoring, scheduling, standings, stats and consistent player communication.
Spark’s convenient and organized, yet laid-back approach to golf can be used as a gateway for both avid and recreational golfers to play more. Jimmy Tierney, a 35-year-old working dad with a young family, was excited to join the Ft. Lauderdale, FL Spark community. “I always wanted to play more golf but rarely made the effort to get my buddies together to book a foursome. I joined the Spark league because it was very well organized, plays only 9-holes every other week and provides a very fun and social atmosphere where I could hang with the guys,” says Tierney.
More than 4,000 golfers will play over 30,000 rounds in Spark leagues during 2019, making Spark the largest golf league community in the U.S. National and local sponsorships are also being finalized for the 2019 season.
