GPC (Golf Partner Connect) is an award-winning, completely unique and game changing app that allows its members to join and play or create and play (real games) with other members anywhere in the world. No matter what your location whether at home, interstate or overseas the unique location based live maps reveal coloured golf ball pins that represent games created by GPC members who are shouting out to other players in their location to join their game. Simply tap on the pin and reveal the name of the creator, their handicap, when and where they want to play and if the game suits then request to join. Once accepted, players can message within the app to make final arrangements, when and where to meet etc.
A member’s playing preference is defined by the colour of their pin.
Red pins are members of clubs who have a tee time and only want to play at their home course, Green pins are members of clubs who will play at their home course or any other course and Blue pins represent players who are not currently members of any club in that current location. Female members have the same colour categories and are depicted by a Pink tee under their ball.
If no suitable games exist members simply create their own game at a time and date that suits them, up to six months in advance, anywhere in the world. You may be at home and have no one to play with, on a business trip interstate, have a conference overseas, no matter what the circumstance if you are keen to play simply shout out to the GPC community in the location you are in (or will be in) by creating your own game!
GPC members have a number of filters that allows them to be more specific in their preferences when creating games and only players who meet those criteria will see the game on the live maps. For example low handicappers can select to play with players of similar handicaps and vice versa for high handicappers. Number of holes, handicap, desired location, distance prepared to travel to play, date and time of game are all options that can be filtered when creating a game.
A once only (per game joined) token fee of AU$5 is required for players to join and play games and is only deducted once a player is accepted into a game. The fee is a necessary charge within the app to encourage players to reliably meet their commitments. A creator of a game will pay the fee once only when the first player joins their game, no matter how many players he has requested to play.
As a GPC member you will have exclusive access to Golf Course specials advertised on the live maps in the location you are looking to play. Orange flags hover above the course and members simply tap on the flag to reveal the specials. Tee times at exclusive clubs, free buggy hire, club hire, burger and beer and so much more just for members of GPC!
