Golf GameBook, the free smartphone app featuring a golf community, live scoring, tournament manager and social chat, has announced a partnership with MasterCard to activate the company’s ‘Keep Score and be a scorer at The Open’ competition.
The competition culminates in two winners becoming official scorers at this year’s Open Championship at Royal Liverpool in July.
The mobile contest is organised to support and communicate MasterCard’s Official Patron status of the 143rd Open Championship and gives UK golfers the once-in-lifetime chance to become a scorer for one of the marquee groups.
To participate, golfers simply download the free Golf GameBook app on their smartphone and keep score with it during any round of golf. The mobile contest will be played during four weeks, starting on 9th June and running until 6th July.
Mikko Rantanen, Co-Founder and CEO of GameBook Inc., said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to experience the world’s oldest professional golf tournament like never before. Each round played with GameBook gives one entry to the mobile contest, so the more a golfer plays, the better their chance of winning.”
MasterCard offered a similar prize prior to last year’s Open Championship at Muirfield, Scotland.
Richard Helik from Edinburgh was the eventual winner. He commented: “It was a phenomenal prize. Scoring at The Open Championship was one of the best experiences of my life. I just want thank everybody from MasterCard for making this chance possible.”
