Golf GameBook provides live scores for you and your mates

We waited a long time for this app, and it’s proving a beauty.

Several years ago we went looking for an app that could give a live leaderboard for golfers during a round with multiple groups on the course. Sadly, the app didn’t exist.

A few photos from the new look Bonnie Doon

Aussie Golfer was asked to come and check out the recent changes to Bonnie Doon Golf Course and the course is in good hands.
