Golfers are very competitive people- not a news flash I know, and Golf GameBook is seeking to leverage that, along with nationalistic pride, in its latest contest that is a virtual Ryder Cup in which any registered user can participate.
I guess I should have said any American or European registered user since the event is a mobile version of the Ryder Cup, at least in terms of the geographic roots of the players. However rather than a one week event this one, called The GameBook Cup: USA vs Europe, will take six weeks.
Starting on July 30, 2012 and concluding on September 9, 2012 the contest will allow participants to compete on a wide variety of categories that will have five different ones, one each week with the one in the first week being most birdies. Each week new categories will be revealed and weekly prizes will be drawn among the winning continent’s golfers who participated in the Cup.
For the last week there will all five of the previous categories to compete in, and the side that wins that week will win the Cup. Despite the geographic requirement of the continent of origin for the players, any golf course around the globe can be played in the competition.
To play you need the company’s app, which is available for both Android and iPhones. Rounds are automatically after completion when using the app. For those of you that are interested in the real Ryder Cup, it will be played at Medinah Country Club, Medinah, Ill., September 25-30, 2012. Team USA has British Open Champion Stewart Cink as the Captain, and Team Europe is led by European Tour golfer Johan Edfors.
