We are delighted Jody has joined our team, and we look forward to working closely with clubs, organisers, hosts and charities throughout Ireland to ensure we continue to make amateur golfers feel like Tour Pros!”

At outstanding value , golfers experience real-time wireless scoring via handheld devices, big-screen TV leaderboards strategically placed at the course and worldwide Internet broadcast of their golf outings via eGolfScore’s popular View An Event Live section. Internet leaderboards can also be placed on the golf clients’ web sites. Participant digital photographs (posted on the TV leaderboards and the Internet) and Commemorative Scorecards can further enhance the experience for all Grove guests.

“Our eGolfScore UK Team continues to strengthen relationships with the best, most prestigious golf  courses in the United Kingdom and other European countries” said Joe Kaplan, Co-Founder and CEO of eGolfScore. “Golf courses that want to provide the best experience possible for their clients will greatly benefit from our system.
