Demo: a live course map with players' positions and pin flags; Ask the booth answering questions about players' scores; a text when a followed golfer tees off; Stroke Play front, back and overall standings; a birdie celebration.

Ask the booth

Anyone watching can ask the booth anything about the players, and it answers in seconds from every round they've played. Ask what someone made on this hole last time, how many birdies they have at the course, or who's playing best on the back.

What did Dennis make on Cedros 3 the last 3 times?
His last three scores there were all pars, a 3 each time.
How many bogeys has Bryan made today?
6 bogeys so far today.
