Strokesaver and TCC have jointly developed a live scoring solution for golfers. In 2007, the solution was tested with great acceptance at several events of the MidAmateur Tour. The solution is based on the establishing scoring method using paper and pen. The only difference versus the conventional method is that in future, a different pen will be used: a so-called digital pen. The solution makes it possible to transmit the score, once it has been entered on the scorecard, to a computer center via GPRS. There, the results are evaluated and processed for use by various media. In a further phase, the technology was tested in Switzerland within the scope of a youth promotion project. On a scorecard developed especially for training purposes, play quality information can be entered in addition to the actual scores. The results are also transmitted to a computer center, processes there for evaluation purposes, and made available to the player either for personal analyses or for analyses with an evaluation tool. Additionally, the computer center can publish the results on a proprietary platform. This Strokesaver feature will appeal to sponsors who wish to publish the results of their tournaments in showrooms or via in-house TV channels. The platform gives the golf community the leverage and capabilities needed to publish a broad spectrum of content and evaluations. Digital pen technology in Golf Objective
