UAE PGA appoints Golf GameBook as their Official Live Scoring Partner

The United Arab Emirates Professional Golfers Association (UAE PGA) has recently signed a long-term agreement with Golf GameBook, a world-leading live scoring App, to be their exclusive live-scoring partner for all UAE PGA official golf tournaments played across the UAE.

Steven Munro, Chief Executive of the UAE PGA said: “When Onside Sports presented Golf GameBook as a tool that would to provide us with our own online Tournament Administration system, including live-scoring and an active social media platform, it instantly struck a chord.  

"As the governing body of the professional game, it is important that the UAE PGA is seen to be taking a leadership position, to our members and various stakeholders, and by embracing the world leading technology in Golf GameBook, it enabled us to take a significant step forward.  

"Through Golf GameBook’s impressive social media platform, we now have an extremely powerful tool which give us a voice to tell people who we are, what we do and what value we provide to the golfing community.”

Julian Danby, Partner and Commercial Director, Onside Sports said: “The UAE PGA is an organisation that is very close to my heart.  As a fellow PGA member, a past UAE PGA Tournament Director and Chief Executive for a period spanning 10 years, I follow the progress of the association with a great deal of pride.  Golf GameBook would be a great asset in providing the UAE PGA with a world-class hole-by-hole live-scoring system, bolstered by an effective and proven social media platform that connects the growing UAE golf community.”

Golf GameBook is changing the landscape of the game for the better. As well as being aimed at tournament organisers like the UAE PGA, it is also a tool that all golfers should carry. As a direct result of the App, the days of using paper scorecards (to mark scores) are long gone.

Golf GameBook is free to download via www.golfgamebook.com and is currently available on the App Store for IOS users. An exciting new Android version is currently under construction and is expected to be available by year-end.

“As a golfer, the most endearing aspect of the App is that I can now regularly keep in contact with my golfing colleagues wherever they may be in the world.  We see the live progress of each others games, and regardless of whether we’re on or off the golf course the banter continues,” added Danby.
