The Majestic at Lake Walden: Cutting Tournament Outings by 90 Minutes

Success Story, The Majestic at Lake Walden

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

Before Gallus, tournament day at The Majestic at Lake Walden meant staff hand-posting scores to a giant physical scoreboard and hunting down scorecards after the last group came in. Moving scoring into the Gallus app cut outings from 8 hours down to as little as 6.5 — trimming up to a full hour and a half of paid staff time off every event.

The Challenge

Every extra hour on tournament day is paid staff time — cart staff, kitchen, and event coordinators all stay on the clock until the last group is scored and off the property. Manual scoring is the one part of the day golfers never see, and it's exactly where that time quietly disappears.
  • Staff hand-posting every score to a giant physical scoreboard, tournament by tournament, outing by outing — a job that had to wait and couldn't happen as the tournament was playing
  • Scorecards had to physically be tracked down and reconciled at the end of every event before results could be finalized, holding up awards and departures
  • Outings ran a full 8 hours from golfer arrival to departure — well past when the actual round of golf wrapped up.

The Solution

The Majestic at Lake Walden put tournament and league play on Gallus' golf tournament and league software, which runs live scoring through the course's custom mobile app — every participant just needed to download the app to keep score for their event.
  • Golfers joined the tournament or league directly through The Lake Majestic's custom mobile app 
  • Players entered their own scores digitally, hole by hole, and submitted the card when their round was done — no more staff hunting down paper scorecards to post on the board
  • Every hole recorded populated a live leaderboard automatically, visible to every group on the course and anyone watching, so results were settled the moment the last group finished
  • Golfers used GPS to keep pace of play moving and get accurate yardages 

The Result

  • 8+ hours dropped to 6.5-7 hours per outing
  • ~60-90 minute saved per outing — staff out an hour earlier
  • 0 scorecards to chase down after the event
  • $4,000+ saved in overtime payroll

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

In the club's own words: "The savings on payroll alone is paying for the app."
