Golf Canada App Has New Features
The newest update for the Golf Canada Mobile App is live.
The main enhancements to the app are focused on expanding the social and interactive elements to allow you to celebrate and discuss your golf outings with your friends.
Specifically, Golf Canada has added the ability to:
- Add Friends / Friends System: Find and request to add your golfing buddies as Friends in the Golf Canada Mobile App so they can see, like and comment on your golf scores, photos and videos
- “News Feed” Of Your Friends’ Scores, Status Updates, Photos and Videos: The home screen of the Golf Canada Mobile App has been revamped as a Facebook-like feed of your friends’ golf scores, status updates, and the likes and comments they leave or receive
- Attach Photos & Videos To Your Scores: You can now upload / attach one or more photos or videos you take out on the course to the golf scores you post to the Golf Canada Mobile App so your Friends and view, like and comment upon them
- Post A Non-Score Status Update (+ Photos, Videos): If you’re not interested in tracking your score on a particular outing, you can post a Status Update and let your friends see where you’re playing today and attach up to 10 photos or videos
- Get Notified About New Likes, Comments, & Your Friends’ Scores and Outings: You can now choose whether or not to receive an e-mail or push notification if someone leaves you a like or comment, if your friends post a new Score or Status Update, or if you receive a new Friend request
- Set A Profile Photo: Now that we’ve gone social, you can edit your own profile and upload a profile photo to represent you in the Golf Canada Mobile App
Of course, all existing functionality continues to work as before: The Golf Canada Mobile App will continue to provide hole-by-hole data for over 1,400 golf clubs in Canada, has the only free Apple Watch integration for your hole-by-hole GPS mapping available in Canada, and is your guide to the RBC Canadian Open and CPKC Women's Open as an attendee.
