A
ny golfer who has
played in a charity
scramble or a com-
pany outing knows the feeling
of shooting a score low
enough to think you've got the
first-place trophy in the bag,
only to return to the clubhouse
and find that the foursome
from accounting came in one
stroke better than your team,
and that eagle putt on the final
hole meant a lot more than
you thought it did.
Thanks to some new tech-
nology available at Indian
Wells Golf Resort, you won't
ever have to experience that
agony again. Indian Wells is
now offering live scoring for
all groups of 12 or more play-
ers, with real-time scores dis-
played on each golf cart's GPS
screen, a mobile phone app
and televisions in the club-
house. Players enter their
scores either in the cart or on
the app, and while scorecards
must still be kept and verified
by the golf shop staff, the en-
tire field has a better idea of
how they're faring from the
first hole to the last.
"It's our job to ensure that
our product is always at the
top of the class," said Michael
Tebbetts, the Director of Sales
and Marketing at Indian Wells
Golf Resort. "When new tech-
nology becomes available that
makes playing here a better
experience for our guests, and
makes it easier for our team to
deliver that, we're going to
take a hard look at it. When
we found this product Golf
Genius, it was a no-brainer
for us."
Another addition to the
Group Golf experience is on-
line payments. Each group or
event is assigned a dedicated
website where individual
players can pay as they regis-
ter, eliminating the need for
the tournament organizer to
pay up front and collect funds
from each player.
In addition to tournament
fees, players can pay for food
and beverage, rental clubs and
more.
