In this blog post we’re interviewing Pål from Sweden, an active GameBook user who has played golf on 624 courses in 42 different countries. He is the kind of guy that has inspired our team to create the new Courses features that were recently introduced on the app. On your GameBook profile, you can now see all…
It’s time to travel to Ireland to meet #GBambassador Eoin. When we asked him to describe himself in three words, he chose the words competitive and sporting. His friends describe him as punctual 😉 Eoin started playing golf in his 20s. His mum & dad played regularly but he was away at school or playing…
It’s time to get to know more of our Ambassadors. We have now traveled from Sweden to Denmark to meet #GBambassador Johan. Johan started playing golf in 1993 at the age of 8 at Vestfyns Golfklub in Denmark. Johan describes himself as competitive, provocative and a bad loser. We were curious to hear how he first heard…
We are extremely excited to introduce the GameBook Ambassadors in this blog series. Our Ambassadors come from around the world with a shared passion towards the game of golf and Golf GameBook. Let’s begin by introducing Jonathan, a #GBambassador from Australia. He describes himself with the following three words: short, hungry and naturally… a golfer. He started golf…

However, the most important one of all is the score and the excitement the right game format can…
Our main focus with GameBook is enhancing the golf experience of the typical everyday golfers. But since that happens to include the best and most entertaining (at least in our opinion) live-scoring service on the planet, we didn’t want to leave our ex-colleagues out of the fun. Through the contacts we’ve built throughout the years we…
Playing golf has been a profession for myself and Mane for several years. Playing and practicing hasn’t only been a fun past-time for us, it has been the job that brings food to the table. Despite this aspect, golf has enriched both of our lives enormously, and given us experiences money can’t buy. Remember how…
We had just survived China and gotten our devices on the market when the smartphone industry exploded. Apple launched their first iPhone and even less tech-oriented guys like us (Yes, I can see the irony in that, but it is true) learned what the word “application” means in this context. No more than a couple…
Once we had come up with the idea and developed it into a business plan it was time to give birth to the 1st generation Golf GameBook – a handheld scoring device. The first GameBook devices were manufactured in China and us, two golfers from Finland, ended up getting a technical education on the side. It wasn’t…
