Reykjavík, Iceland / Espoo, Finland – June 18, 2025: Golf GameBook (GGB) and the Iceland Golf Federation (IGF) are proud to announce a strategic partnership aimed at enhancing the digital experience for Icelandic golfers and fostering junior golf development.
Seamless Handicap Synchronization
One of the key elements of this partnership is the handicap synchronization between Golf GameBook and IGF’s GolfBox IT system. This integration enables Golf GameBook users to seamlessly synchronize their handicap with the federation’s official handicap system, ensuring the handicap remains up-to-date and accurate within the app. This development is a significant step in making golf more accessible and user-friendly for Icelandic golfers.
Empowering Junior Golfers with Free Gold Membership
In line with their commitment to growing the game, Golf GameBook and IGF will launch a Junior Program, offering free Golf GameBook Gold Membership (value 60 EUR per year) to Icelandic junior golfers (18 years or younger). This membership grants access to advanced statistics, GPS maps & rangefinder, and 20 different game formats, along with many other features that enhance the golfing experience for juniors.
Growing the Icelandic Golf Community
Currently, over 20% of Icelandic golfers use Golf GameBook to enhance their golfing experience. This partnership aims to increase that number, promoting community engagement and connectivity among Icelandic golfers. By offering juniors free access to premium features, the partnership supports the future of Icelandic golf.
"This partnership with the Iceland Golf Federation represents another significant milestone for Golf GameBook as we continue to expand our footprint in Europe. We are excited to provide Icelandic golfers with a more connected and enjoyable golfing experience,” said Max Leijon, Head of Strategy and Operations at Golf GameBook.
Arnar Geirsson of the Iceland Golf Federation, added, "We are delighted to partner with Golf GameBook to provide our members with a modern, integrated digital experience. Supporting junior golfers is a key priority for us, and this program will undoubtedly inspire more young players to stay engaged with the sport."
