The First Nationwide Golf Tournament in the World: Audi Super Saturdays

ESPOO, Finland, June 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- GameBook and Audi Finland announced the launch of Audi Super Saturdays on June 4, 2011. This was the first time ever in the world of golf that players can compete against each other nationwide on any golf course.

GameBook is the developer of the GameBook(R) real-time scoring system and ground breaking social technology platform for golf, intended to make golf more social, fun and enjoyable for all. The GameBook product family includes the GameBook iPhone App, available from the Apple iTunes App Store. The iPhone application includes an intuitive real-time score card, built-in traditional and fun game formats and well as statistics. The GameBook Clubhouse, a free online community for golfers, takes the social and sharing aspects of the iPhone application to the next level. At the Clubhouse, you can follow and comment on your friends' games real-time from wherever you are, share photographs from the course as you play, store your scores, and compare your golf statistics with those of your friends.

Open to anyone, Audi Super Saturdays are played every Saturday in Finland. Audi offers free downloads of the iPhone application in Finland and also sponsors prizes every Saturday. They include rewards not only for good results but also for results such as "the most number of bogies". This is intended to make everyone's Saturday game more enjoyable.

To participate, a player must log-on and record their Saturday score on the GameBook iPhone application or register at the GameBook Clubhouse and enter the score manually in the player's Clubhouse profile. Each Saturday's prize category is not revealed until the following Monday.

- Audi represents innovation in car technology and is dedicated to improving the driving experience, so it was quite natural that we started co-operation with GameBook with its ground-breaking golf technology platform, says Petri Aarnio, Director of Audi Finland.

- Together we want to offer technical innovation that make both driving and golf more enjoyable and fun, he continues.
