Making your Golf Charity Scramble Memorable
You really want to make your charity/foundation golf scramble a memorable experience. You want people to come back year after year. You want to expose your sponsors to people in more ways. You want your golfers to clear the golf course as quickly as possible. Your golfers have lives. Sure, they love talking a bit after golf, but they don't like waiting around 90 minutes for the scores to be tallied. You and your staff of volunteers have been at the golf course since 6:30 am. They are hot. They are tired. They want to go home. The golf pro staff is human. They make mistakes. They have been at the course for many hours. They are hot and tired as well. They really don't want to then spend the next 90 minutes chasing down scorecards and then having to total them up. And when there are ties, they aren't looking forward to going through the work of the USGA tie breaking system.

Stableford Scoring in Golf with Azure
We revamped our scoring for a golf stableford scoring system. The problem with Stableford is that it is in general hard to figure out during a round how your team is doing in relation to your quota. The scoreboard is fast and shows the scores as well as your position within the event relative to your quota. The performance is also lightening fast. check out the video. This shows the display of the scores over each hole per group and the scoring is updated per the USGA guidelines for tie breaking. I'm quite proud of this.

Our Golf App
I wanted to share my feeling at watching the scoreboards on Sunday February 18th, 2018. It is awesome to know that I’ve built a system that people can use and I don’t have to be around to see. It’s hard when things start. Your goal when you start is not to have everything perfect. Your goal is to have something that people can use initially. It’s not perfect. It is a start. Initially, it is called a Minimum Viable Product. Minimum is the key. You start with the minimum set of features that people can use. Over time, you add features. You improve the product. That is called iteration. And that is what I have done. I have taken a product that I had to go to the golf course to run to now, the golf assistant procs can run the application with no interaction from me. For the club games, we have things to the point where a golf pro just needs to:
