Description:
GRGS is a golf statistics platform for golfers and instructors with approx. 10,000 users in 77 countries.
Launched in February 2014, the GRGS platform was designed for golfers to measure and improve their golf game through tracking statistics. Golfers record every shot they hit in a round of golf through our mobile applications and the system automatically calculates 300+ statistics to review instantly. The Clubhouse feature allows golfers and instructors to connect, analyze and compare statistics side-by-side.
Since our soft launch in 2014, the company has partnered with the LPGA Tour (largest women's golf organization in the world), the PGA of Australia, ALPG Tour, and most recently the NCSA Athletic Recruiting. The NCSA has 55,000 golfers and coaches who can use GRGS for college recruiting. In January 2016, the NCSA plans to integrate with GRGS to make statistics available to coaches directly through the NCSA platform. The company has also been approached and asked to present a proposal to be the collegiate statistics supplier for the NCAA. The NCAA are going to RFP in the near future.
Our development plan includes improvements to the web interface and analytic features, iOS and Android app enhancements, plus the development of apps for Smartwatches. The LPGA Tour, and other professional tours, have expressed interest for a more comprehensive Live Scoring system that is closer to what the PGA Tour does. GRGS has been modeled off the PGA Tour system called Shotlink, and intends to expand into Live Scoring which can also be used at the collegiate level.
