Identifying Challenges in Creating an Engaging, Real-Time Golf Contest Platform

The client requires an engaging, always-on golf contest platform that allows users to participate in live hole-in-one challenges, stream and share course action, and manage contest claims efficiently. Existing systems lack real-time interactivity and seamless user experience, limiting user engagement and operational efficiency.

About the Client

A sports entertainment company aiming to create an innovative golf event platform integrating real-time contests and social sharing features.

Goals for Developing a Scalable, User-Centric Golf Contest Application

  • Develop a native iOS and Android application enabling users to participate in live hole-in-one contests across multiple golf courses.
  • Implement a cloud-based administrative system for review and management of contest win claims.
  • Facilitate live streaming and sharing of real-time golf course action to enhance user engagement.
  • Design a user experience that appeals to golfers of all ages and technical abilities.
  • Ensure the platform is scalable to support contests at multiple affiliated golf courses.
  • Achieve timely launch within a six-month design-to-go-live cycle.

Core Functionalities for the Golf Contest Platform

  • Native mobile apps for iOS and Android providing seamless user participation and interaction.
  • Real-time contest tracking and scoring, enabling users to see live updates of ongoing contests.
  • Video streaming features to broadcast live course action for viewers and sharers.
  • Secure submission and review system for contest win claims handled via an administrative dashboard.
  • User-friendly interface designed to engage golfers of all ages and skill levels.
  • Integration with GPS and course data to validate contest entries.
  • Push notifications to engage users during live events.

Preferred Technologies and Architectural Approach

Native app development using Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android
Cloud serverless architecture on AWS or equivalent platform for scalability and cost efficiency
Real-time data handling with WebSocket or similar protocols
Secure cloud storage for video streaming and contest data

External Systems and Data Integrations Needed

  • GPS and mapping services for location validation
  • Video streaming platforms for live broadcast capabilities
  • Payment gateways if monetization features are added
  • User authentication and social sharing integrations

Performance, Security, and Scalability Considerations

  • System must support concurrent real-time updates for thousands of users across multiple golf courses.
  • App response times should be under 2 seconds for core interactions.
  • Data security and user privacy must comply with relevant regulations.
  • High availability with 99.9% uptime during key event periods.
  • System should be scalable to support future feature expansion.

Projected Business Outcomes from the Golf Contest Platform

The platform aims to significantly increase user engagement and brand visibility by enabling real-time participation, streaming, and sharing. It is expected to support multiple golf courses, attract thousands of users during live events, and streamline contest claim management, ultimately enhancing revenue opportunities and customer loyalty.
