TurfGolfEvents

Golf simulator league software for indoor golf facilities: leagues, tournaments and real simulator handicaps, scored from a photo of the GSPro scorecard, with live leaderboards on any TV. Nothing to install on the simulator. Ba built it at TURF, his own sim lounge, where it runs every week.

How golf trips work

How it works at a sim lounge

  1. Play your round, any bay, any time inside the league's window. Nothing is installed on the simulator.
  2. Take two photos: the scorecard and the stats screen, with the phone's camera or from the gallery. Nobody types a score, so nobody can type a wrong one.
  3. The AI reads the card and checks it: course, tees, play mode, elevation, gimmes and mulligans, hole by hole against the card's totals.
  4. Handicap, stats and records update. The simulator handicap index is worked out the World Handicap System way from pure rounds only. A member's home simulator counts too.
  5. The standings go up on the TV. Open one address on anything with a browser and plug it into the TV. Leaderboards, the records wall, Course of the Week and upcoming events rotate by themselves.

Why nothing goes on your bays

Other league tools put a plugin inside GSPro that has to be put back every time GSPro updates. TurfGolfEvents does not touch the bays: it reads a photo of GSPro's own scorecard, so it works on every GSPro bay and every launch monitor from day one, and a GSPro update cannot break it.

Built for the same rooms as BA Core

BA Core runs the front counter: booking, tabs, payments and reports, on a Raspberry Pi 5 the facility owns. TurfGolfEvents runs the leagues and events. Both came out of running TURF day to day.
