Pro-style live scoring and one old rivalry

Our main focus with GameBook is enhancing the golf experience of the typical everyday golfers.

Every Day Challenge – proving less isn’t always more

You know how they say that “less is more”? Well, we don’t necessarily agree with that. Or what do you think of a golf tournament with over 250,000 participants and more than 100 winners? For the second consecutive year, Golf GameBook organised the biggest (and most fun) golf tournament in Finland. Starting in the beginning of…
