The Majestic at Lake Walden Cuts Tournament Outings by Up to 90 Minutes

Success Story, The Majestic at Lake Walden

Live in-app scoring replaces paper scoreboards — and the payroll savings are significant

Before partnering with Gallus, tournament day at The Majestic at Lake Walden meant staff manually hand-posting scores to a giant physical scoreboard and hunting down physical scorecards after the last group came in. Using live scoring in their custom mobile app streamlined event operations, cutting total outing times from eight hours down to 6.5—saving significant staff payroll on every event.

The Challenge

Every extra hour on tournament day means paid staff time—cart attendants, kitchen crew, and event coordinators all stay on the clock until final results are posted and players leave the property:
  • Manual Bottlenecks: Staff had to hand-post scores for every tournament and outing onto a large physical scoreboard—a process that couldn't happen in real time as play progressed
  • Delayed Wrap-Ups: Staff spent valuable time tracking down and reconciling paper scorecards, delaying awards and player departures 
  • Extended Outing Times: Events routinely ran eight full hours from player arrival to final departure, far exceeding the time spent on the course

The Solution

The Majestic at Lake Walden adopted Gallus' golf tournament and league software, bringing live, in-app scoring directly to their players' phone with the club's custom mobile app:
  • Frictionless Entry: Golfers joined tournaments and leagues directly within The Majestic's own custom mobile app
  • Self-Service Digital Scoring: Players entered hole-by-hole scores digitally and instantly submitted scorecards upon completion—eliminating paper scorecard hunts entirely
  • Real-Time Live Leaderboard: Automatic score updates populated live leaderboards visible to all players and observers, finalizing results the moment the final group finishes and submits their scorecard
  • Pace-of-Play-Support: On-course GPS provided accurate yardages and kept pace of play moving efficiently throughout events 

The Result

  • 8+ hours dropped to 6.5-7 hours per golf tournament or outing
    • 60-90 minutes saved—staff out an hour earlier
  • Zero scorecards to chase down post-event
  • $4,000+ in reduction of additional payroll costs

In Their Words

"No more hand posting scores to a giant scoreboard, no more searching for those elusive scorecards at the end of an event. Golfers love watching the leaderboard and skins winners scroll by during their round — but the real win is on the back end. Outings that used to take 8 hours from arrival to departure are now closer to 6.5 to 7."

— Steven Tannar, Director of Golf Operations, The Majestic at Lake Walden

Bottom Line

The Majestic proved that digital tournament tools don't just upgrade the golfer experience—they streamline operations where it matters most: "The savings on payroll alone is paying for the app."
