Golf AutoScore make it 3 years running at the South African Charity Golf Day

The 2008 running of the South African Charity Golf Day is due to take place in September at the beautiful Fox Hills Resort just south of London. This event is the largest charity golf day in Europe with a field of over 360 competitors playing on Fox Hills two championship courses. The event is supported by high profile political and sporting celebrities including F.W. de Klerk, Francois Pienaar and Clive Rice.

"The South African Charity Golf Day, now the biggest golf day at a single club anywhere in Europe, highly recommends the Golf AutoScore system. For the past 2 years we have used their automated scorecard system for our 400 golfers. We were all absolutely amazed at how quickly scores for the individual stableford competitions on each course, as well as the team scores, were so instantly available, updated and displayed on a giant screen. Literally seconds after the final four ball completed their round, we were presented with easy-to-read printed schedules for all five competitions calculated using a count back system to show placings throughout the field. We will be using the system again this year and will happily comment further to any interested party."

Golf AutoScore in the news

Inside Line (6) Summer 2006 - Charles de Haan

Golf AutoScore - Another ideas is one from New Zealand: the highly impressive Golf AutoScore system. I saw this demonstrated recently at the Belfry, and it could just be the way for clubs to go in the near future. It simplifies score card recording and handicap management by recording the scores through a reader, building those scores into a leader-board, and then sorting out all the new handicaps - and it only takes a few seconds to do each card.

In terms of software, Golf AutoScore is an open platform, so their software can be integrated with any existing competitions and handicaps software - all it takes is for your software supplier to integrate the software and you're away.

Best of all, all the 'work' is done by the members in more or less the same way they've been used to doing things - put down the score, cross out one of the corresponding numbers on the reader format side of the card, sign it and then pass through the reader back at the clubhouse - or wherever it's located, which could be the scorer's tent, for example if it was a major tournament.

The reader sorts out the score or correct points for whatever format of competition it may be - singles medal, stableford, foursomes, Texas scramble, etc... and then enters the score onto a leaderboard. This can then be projected from the PC or laptop via a cable to a projector and screen in the bar or lounge. Once the competition is closed, it takes care of all the new handicaps as well.

It will deal with 100 cards in less than 5 minutes - it really is that quick. And for those of you who wonder if the Leader Board idea is anything more than a gimmick for the lounge, the team from Golf AutoScore have solid evidence from one club that installed their equipment: the bar sales were up 25% over the year, compared to the year before, purely because of the effect of having a live leader board running during its competitions. That alone is worth the installation of Golf AutoScore.
