The highly awaited 18Birdies golf platform provides golfers with an easy-to-use mobile app that helps make golf more fun and exciting and provides courses with a leading edge course management system. 18Birdies gives the golf community the opportunity to track, compete and connect in real-time on their mobile devices and is available via iTunes and Google Play.

The app allows golfers to personalize their games, gamify golf along several different dimensions of gameplay and create a highly social, mobile experience for players to connect with their friends, groups and local golf community. 18Birdies is using its next generation golf technology to build and grow the golf community, from experienced players to a generation of Millennials who are increasingly looking for ways to combine their passions for social, technology and sports within their activities. 18Birdies combines all of these passions into one app for easy access to all the tools a golfer might need both on and off the course. Through the 18Birdies app, users can actively communicate socially with other golfers, sharing highlights and lowlights of their golf experiences, challenge others in competition and develop new relationships with other golfers in their local communities. "We wanted to provide the golf community with a simple and intuitive experience that uses the power of technology, gaming and social to make golf more innovative and fun," said Eddy Lui, Founder and CEO, 18Birdies.

The 18Birdies mobile golf platform provides courses with tools and technology to connect and engage with their local golf community, and in turn innovate the game for golfers. By leveraging 18Birdies player data to understand who these golfers are, courses now have access to a wealth of data and an incredibly valuable set of consumer insights that is currently missing from the golf industry. "At 18Birdies we're always innovating in order to provide the evolving golf communitywith the best features and most accurate data possible," said Joe Hardy, Chief Technology Officer, 18Birdies.
