Flemington, NJ, May 19, 2009 – eGolfScore, the leading provider of wireless scoring for individual golfers as well as corporate, celebrity and charity golf outings across North America and Europe, announces its teaming with Golf Event Magazine and MyGolfEventPlanner.com to offer real-time wireless scoring to create one-of-a kind experiences at golf events and outings.

Golf Event gives readers the tools and resources to help create successful golf events and outings, and with Golf Event“s MyGolfEventPlanner.com, they make it even easier for anyone organizing and managing a golf outing,” said Joe Kaplan, eGolfScore Co-Founder and CEO. “That’s why eGolfScore is such a logical partner, especially with many planners and coordinators looking for ways to differentiate their services by adding greater value – on and off the golf course. eGolfScore’s real-time wireless Event Scoring Program (eSP) includes all the required hardware and software to flame the competitive spirit of most golfers, and an Internet component through its “View An Event Live” feature, which draws in all friends, family and co-workers interested in monitoring play for the day.

“Everyone is looking for new ways to jazz up their golf outing or event. With eGolfScore, it gets the entire field involved and gives the participants more of a “tournament” feel,” says Brad Seybert, president of Golf Event Magazine. Brad Seybert continues, “While there are a lot of ways that golf event planners can add to their golf outing or event, there are very few that add the excitement as well as the business element to the event. Being able to have sponsored messages with the eGolfScore product, adds another layer. Whether it is used to promote sponsors, thank participants, or reinforce the reason for the outing, eGolfScore is an attractive element that is a must for a golf outing or event.”
