Tour golfer

"I think this is a wonderfully innovative idea. In honor of the Ryder Cup year I

think it is appropriate to expand the joy of golf with a truly global approach. Golf

tournaments are fun and social, but they can be so much more with this new

golf app.", praises British Open Champion

Stewart Cink

"I had an opportunity to test this golf concept last year in a tournament

between two nations,

Sweden

and

Finland

extremely fun experience. I will recommend my fellow pros to join this contest.

My vision is to have a diverse Team Europe, professionals and amateurs playing

together." says

Johan Edfors

, Captain of Team Europe in the GameBook Cup

and three-time winner of European Tour events.

"Both in the US and in

Europe

we value the important landmark tournaments.

The encouraging and inspiring culture deserves to be further embraced, and

that's what we are doing. GameBook Cup differs only by the fact that anyone

can participate. And to make things more interesting, we will throw some nice

prizes to random participants each week." says

Mikko Rantanen

, CEO of

"The only thing a golfer has to do is to play a round of golf anywhere in the

world and enter his or her scorecard using Golf GameBook. We will

automatically include all scores from golfers who are registered respectively in
