Technology is in full swing at The Royal Golf Club following the launch of a new golf app for mobile devices, the first of its kind for a golf club in Bahrain.
The app, which can be downloaded free of charge from iTunes and Google Play, boasts a range of functions such as enabling golfers to book tee times, view details of each golf hole and keep scores for up to four players during a round of golf.
“This app is fantastic news for golfers and offers lots of exciting features,” said Bernie Morgan, the club’s director of golf. “Its GPS functionality means that during a round, golfers can view distances and calculate yardages while they play and even access tips from course designer Colin Montgomerie on the best way to approach each hole.
“The scorecard feature does the calculations for you and real-time Facebook interaction means that players can share their on-course experiences with friends.”
The Royal Golf Club app will also provide exclusive offers on green fees and events as well as enabling users to access details of the club’s dining facilities and menus.
