Development of a Real-Time Oncourse Golf Match Tracking and Social Platform

The client requires a comprehensive mobile platform that enables golfers to accurately track scores and wagers during on-course play, handle real-time data updates despite potential connectivity issues, manage intricate game mechanics like score adjustments and route changes, and facilitate social interactions through match sharing and statistics sharing. Existing systems lack the responsiveness, flexibility, and integration capabilities needed to support seamless real-time gameplay and community engagement.

A mid-sized sports tech startup focusing on enhancing golf enthusiasts' experience through innovative mobile applications with real-time scoring, wagering, and social sharing features.

• Implement a real-time score updating system that minimizes data loss during unstable internet connections.
• Develop mechanisms for updating and recalculating game results, including features for modifying past results and changing playing routes.
• Create a scalable database system to store comprehensive game and player statistics, with filtering capabilities for analytics.
• Ensure the platform supports social features such as match invitations, result sharing, and community feeds.
• Deliver the application on schedule, facilitating efficient mobile development efforts to accelerate time-to-market.

• Batch update system for simultaneous hole data refreshes with timestamping to maintain real-time accuracy.
• Separation of live score updates from final score calculations to ensure transparency and flexibility.
• Support for modifying game history and changing routes during gameplay.
• Database infrastructure to store detailed statistics for each game and player with filtering and analytics capabilities.
• User interfaces for creating matches, inviting friends, sharing results via social feeds, and viewing player statistics.

• APIs for golf course data to provide course-specific statistics and info
• Third-party analytics and handicap calculation services

The new application aims to deliver a seamless real-time golf match management experience, improving user engagement and satisfaction. Similar platforms have demonstrated the capacity to support active communities, facilitate social interactions, and increase user retention. The system is expected to enable users to manage detailed statistics, share experiences effortlessly, and adapt game results flexibly, thereby fostering a vibrant golf community and potentially increasing active user base and revenue streams.
