It is held to raise money for Queen Silvia Children’s Hospital (Drottning Silvias barn- och ungdomssjukhus). The money raised is used for making life easier for the children and to foster the recovery…
As we all know, it is rather difficult to find the time to golf sometimes. I mean who wishes that they would have a bit more time to golf instead of sitting at the office? There is a man though, who plays golf around 8 times per week. We introduced him to you in our…
In the beginning of June we organized a match between our Ambassadors from Göteborg and Stockholm. The match was held on Saturday June 3rd at Albatross Golfklubb in Göteborg. The course was in fantastic shape, as the greens were smooth and the fairways were cut perfectly. The day was sunny and full of laughter; with a small…

In the previous Ambassador blog post, we got to know one of GameBook’s Ambassadors in Costa Rica, Juan Pablo. This time we’ll meet another #GBambassador from Costa Rica, Agustin. Agustin has been playing golf for about 13 years because a couple of his good friends inspired him to begin the sport. Ironically, they don’t golf anymore,…
I’ve been lucky enough to have worked in golf for a long time, worked with people, organizations and courses that most golf fans know. With all of my years being in golf, without fail, the question I always get when I meet a fellow golf enthusiast is: “Have you been to Augusta?” To play? Not…
We have already introduced some of our Ambassadors from Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Ireland and Australia. Now it’s time to travel to Costa Rica to meet GameBook Ambassador Juan Pablo. Juan Pablo used to be an avid tennis player, but due to a knee injury he had to look for a different sport. His father encouraged him to…
It’s time to introduce one of our Ambassadors in Finland, Jenni. Spring has finally arrived to Finland and Jenni is excited for the golf season to soon begin. Jenni started playing golf at the age of ten. Her family inspired her to begin the game, as her mom, dad and brother were spending every weekend…
If you could find a way to speed up your round, make managing your game easier and, most importantly, more fun, would you give it a try? Wearable technology and technology in general is catching like wildfire these days, especially in the golf industry. That’s why we decided to integrate the Apple Watch with the…
It’s time to introduce one more of our Ambassadors. This time we are traveling to Florida to get to know Henrik, a Finnish College Golfer at Florida Tech. Henrik hit his first ever golf shot in Mijas, Spain at the age of three. It did, however, take him a couple more years before he played…
In this blog Golf GameBook’s staff will discuss the app and Golf related topics – all for the sport we love.
We believe every golfer deserves a gallery to share experiences with other golfers and a diary to store their precious golf memories. That’s what GameBook is all about.
Golf GameBook app is like a clubhouse in your pocket. We offer you the most effective and social way to keep score in golf allowing you to connect with other golfers and share live results, comments, photos and videos – no matter where you are, on and off the golf course.

It’s time to introduce one more of our Ambassadors. This time we are traveling to Florida to get to know Henrik, a Finnish College Golfer at Florida Tech. Henrik hit his first ever golf shot in Mijas, Spain at the age of three. It did, however, take him a couple more years before he played his first round of golf in Hyvinkää, Finland at the age of sever. Thinking about this round brings a smile to Henrik’s face. On his first golf round, Henrik shot 125 shots off the red tees. Everyone must start somewhere! 😉
In addition to being a passionate golfer, Henrik loves exploring the world – visiting new countries and learning about foreign cultures. He also enjoys winter sports, such as skiing.
And finally, ever since my early adolescence l’ve been a big fan of rock and metal music. The last few years that I’ve spent in the U.S. have turned me into a country boy as well.
We asked Henrik how he had first heard of Golf GameBook. He told us that it became a big thing at his home club when the app was launched. Many of Henrik’s golfing friends told him about it.
I downloaded it almost instantly after I got my first iPhone and enjoyed it from the very beginning.
Henrik’s favorite golf club used to be his driver, but during the last couple of years he’s struggled with ballstriking and he has had to learn other ways to score a decent score. That is why putting has become the best part of his game.
The Ping Anser that I have in my golf bag has definitely become my favorite golf club.
Henrik has had the privilege to play many beautiful courses around the planet, and there are a couple amongst them that deserve a special mention. These courses are: The National Golf Links of America (New York), Yas Links (United Arab Emirates), Carnoustie (Scotland), Vestmanneyjar (Iceland) and Kytäjä Golf South East (Finland).
We asked Henrik who his favorite golfer is. He told us that it’s tough to name just one. Henrik admires Ernie Els because of his golf swing. Henrik also adores Henrik Stenson for his consistency and sense of humor. In addition, he respects Tiger’s scoring ability when he was at his best.
Ernie Els and Tiger Woods are two of Henrik’s favorite golfers.
