Q&A
Strokesaver and TCC have jointly developed a live scoring solution for golfers. In 2007, the solution was tested with great acceptance at several events of the MidAmateur Tour.
• The solution is based on the establishing scoring method using paper and pen. The only difference versus the conventional method is that in future, a different pen will be used: a so-called digital pen.
• The solution makes it possible to transmit the score, once it has been entered on the scorecard, to a computer center via GPRS. There, the results are evaluated and processed for use by various media.
• In a further phase, the technology was tested in Switzerland within the scope of a youth promotion project. On a scorecard developed especially for training purposes, play quality information can be entered in addition to the actual scores. The results are also transmitted to a computer center, processes there for evaluation purposes, and made available to the player either for personal analyses or for analyses with an evaluation tool.
• Additionally, the computer center can publish the results on a proprietary platform. This Strokesaver feature will appeal to sponsors who wish to publish the results of their tournaments in showrooms or via in-house TV channels. The platform gives the golf community the leverage and capabilities needed to publish a broad spectrum of content and evaluations.
