Paperless pre-round prediction platform for club golfers set to host virtual booth at the upcoming PGA Show

Sacramento, CA​ - Homestretch Golf, the golf industry’s first paperless pari-mutuel platform, announces their participation in the upcoming 2021 Virtual PGA Show to be held January 26-29, 2021.

Launched in April, 2019, Homestretch Golf has quickly become the industry-leader in providing a dynamic, interactive platform with live odds to win fluctuating in real-time for club golfers to save informed pre-round predictions from any internet-connected device. Golf Professionals, General Managers, Trip Organizers, and Committee Members alike have upgraded this pre-round aspect of tournament operations by using the Homestretch Golf platform over the past two years. More than 6,000 members and guests have saved their predictions on Homestretch Golf!

Against the landscape of a global pandemic in 2020 in which safety protocols are top of mind for tournament organizers, the Homestretch Golf platform allows participants to safely save predictions from the comfort of their own homes several days prior to Round 1 play. As golf continues to provide a mental health and recreational outlet in 2021, conducting safe competitions at clubs worldwide will be an important task for tournament organizers. Leveraging the Homestretch Golf platform is a perfect fit to simultaneously deliver a safe experience and upgrade the fun factor of pre-round prediction excitement! New Homestretch Golf admins can create their free account by visiting the company website at www.homestretchgolf.com​ and will enjoy running tournaments with no out-of-pocket cost to the facility.

Homestretch Golf proudly donates a portion of net proceeds from every tournament to the American Cancer Society. Built directly into Homestretch Golf’s proprietary platform is charitable fundraising, and through the 2020 season the company has raised over $8,000 for charity! Golf Professionals can now easily introduce pre-round predictions at charity tournaments at their club as a whole new fundraising source for local causes while enhancing the fun had by participants!

The PGA Show virtual experience and marketplace kicks off with the Product Preview and Launch Day on January 26th, 2021, followed by three more days of Virtual Showrooms & Education for PGA Professionals and other golf-industry professionals to enjoy remotely from across the globe. Homestretch Golf will conduct live demonstrations of the platform as well as allow participants to schedule private meetings to discuss their club’s specific needs for 2021 events.
