CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Grow the Game Golf, the world's first cross-platform smartphone app to combine real-time scoring, live event leaderboard and an effortless event management system, is thrilled to announce the addition of a points scoring feature to its portfolio of golf-game capabilities. For a limited time, the points scoring feature will be available for free to all registered members. GTG Golf's points scoring is the most flexible way to score any fieldwide points games, including Stableford, Quota or Junk. It also makes scoring individual foursome games such as Wolf, Scotch, 7-5-3-1, Sixes, Bingo Bango Bongo, Snakes and Match Play easier by providing a Points Live Leaderboard on every golfer's smartphone. GTG Golf has built the ultimate golf scoring platform for golfers who want to know where they stand against their competitors while they are playing their round.
"We developed the points scoring feature to allow golfers to score any format of their favorite points games," says Bob Selby, CEO of Grow the Game Golf. "GTG Golf is a platform for competing golfers to use when playing in a league event, on a golf trip to their favorite destination or just in their regular Friday afternoon foursome. When they're out on the course, they can score the round on their personal smartphone and see where they stand on the live leaderboard. Competitive golfers are finding they no longer have to play a round without a real-time view of their leaderboard rankings."
The addition of GTG Golf's Points Scoring feature comes on the heels of the company's exclusive endorsement deal with PGA Tour Pro Jim Furyk. The 2010 PGA Tour FedEx Cup Champion and 2003 U.S. Open Champion is now the face of GTG Golf, appearing in advertising materials and promoting the app at events and tournaments. "We're excited to have validation from a major champion," says Tim Martin, co-founder of GTG Golf. "He believes in knowing his position on the leaderboard so he can make the most appropriate shot. That's why we developed the GTG Golf application—to provide all golfers with a missing part of the game: their leaderboard status."
Grow the Game Golf is available on Android powered smartphones and tablets, iPhone and iPads and the Blackberry Torch and Bold 9900 series. For more information or to register for free, visit www.GTGGolf.com.
