The live scoring app drastically reduces the time lag
involved in traditional scoring. Traditionally scoring was done manually
wherein volunteers carry walkie-talkies and relay the information to a central
point, where it is fed into a console. This has a time lag of about 10-15
minutes between the scores per hole of each player.
The application also has the features to be used for LIVE
SCORING at corporate events and also for personal Scoring by a golfer.
