This innovative App running on MTS smartphones enables golfers to get access to live scores with real time updates on all competing participants, making the tournament all the more exciting.

Application Advantage
Traditionally scoring was done manually wherein volunteers carry walkie-talkies and relay the information to a central point, where it is fed into a console. This has a time lag of about 10-15 minutes between the scores per hole of each player.
To facilitate the live feed and real time scores, this application has been developed to cut down drastically on the time lag. This will achieved by deploying volunteers to the 18 greens, and have them enter scores of the players as they pass by into a MTS smart phone which is directly linked to the main console.
The application also has the features to be used for LIVE SCORING at corporate events and also for personal Scoring by a golfer.
According to Dinesh Thakur, CEO & Founder of 4moles.com, “We are proud to announce India’s first real-time professional golf scoring application specially designed for the Panasonic Open India 2012. This innovative application will enable the golfers to keep a record of individual scores and also real time Leader board update regardless of where they are. Going further, we will also be adding features of personal scoring on to this application.This application is exclusively available on MTS smartphones.”
