What is Golfstakes?

Well it's been about three months now since I've started working with the Golfstakes team. A huge number of improvements have been added along with some brand new functionality. But hey, wait you're asking, what in the heck is Golfstakes in first place?

Here is what the site says:

What is golfstakes?
Golfstakes is an extremely unique golf game and scoring system.  It is the ONLY product available that allows you to create golf groups and individual or group side games between the groups with LIVE UPDATING!!

How does it work?

You select the course that you want to play, select your 4 some, 5 some, 10 some, (golfstakes doesn't care how many people are in a group), then create the side games that you want to play, and assign what players are in each side game.

You can create multiple groups, and have side games between the groups!!!
You play in a skins game every Saturday with 20 guys?  No problem!  Set up the 4 somes, create a skins side game, enter scores on your internet enabled cell phone, and voila, golfstakes calculates the results LIVE in REAL TIME!!!

You and Joe also have a 5 point 2 down auto match play?  Again, golfstakes has you covered.  Create another side game between you and Joe, enter the scores one time, and it updates your side game real time!!  JOE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO BE IN YOUR 4 SOME AND YOU CAN PRESS HIM WHENEVER YOU WANT IN REAL TIME!!

Golfstakes has all the fun games too.  Best Ball, Birdies, Daytona, Eagles, Match Play, Nassau, Skins, Skins no carry over, Sows, Stableford, Stroke play.  More to come in the following weeks!
Instead of wasting your time calculating the side games, now you can have a beer with the rest of the gang and enjoy the bantering. 

Sounds interesting doesn't it? Well so far it has been. What started out as a tool for one avid golfer has turned into a whole social networking type golf scoring mobile enabled web site.

Stop by and take a look at what we've done so far. Golfstakes.com
