The addition of eGolfScore’s Event Scoring Program (eSP), with wireless scoring and real-time leaderboards, added a fun and interactive experience for golfers, added significant value for sponsors, and made life much easier for the tournament organiser, Simon Knabl, by automatically calculating all of the scoring throughout the day.
