What is a live leaderboard?
A live leaderboard is an overview of all submitted results in a Closest to the Pin tournament, updated in real time. Unlike traditional paper lists or spreadsheets that are updated manually at the end of the round, CTTP Golf updates instantly the moment a player hits "submit".
This means a player on hole 3 can see who is currently leading and what distance they need to beat. This creates a competitive dynamic and excitement that is impossible to achieve with paper-based systems.
How it works in practice
The flow is simple and requires no technical knowledge from the player:
The entire process takes under 30 seconds and does not disrupt the rhythm of play.
Big screen in the clubhouse
The live leaderboard is not just for mobile phones. CTTP Golf is designed to run on a big screen in the clubhouse via a standard web browser. The screen updates automatically, no one needs to sit and press F5.
This creates a natural gathering point in the clubhouse when players return from the course. Everyone looks up, sees the standings, and the conversation starts. This atmosphere is hard to create with a paper sheet on the bar counter.
Embed on your club website
With a single line of HTML code, your golf club can display the live leaderboard directly on your website. This means family members, sponsors, and interested members can follow along from home without visiting a third-party platform.
The leaderboard updates in real time, displays sponsor logos, and reflects your club's own brand. It is a concrete and visible asset that many clubs actively use in sponsor communication.
