Project Overview

GolfMatchPlay.com is a portal designed to create a personal golf player network. It’s a platform where golf enthusiasts can meet and challenge each other. Throughout the year, international golf events are held in various countries, culminating in an annual Championship in Dubai. IT House developed this project from scratch, revitalizing a concept that dates back to the 90s, while maintaining the essence of the original project in a modernised look.

Execution

IT House crafted a robust Ruby on Rails platform that allows players from around the world to join the community. Key features include a Leaderboard where players can see their rankings, mark games they’ve played, and compete with others. To ensure transparency and excitement, each person can play a match only once a year.

From a technical standpoint, we integrated PayPal as a payment gateway and implemented an Affiliate program. This not only facilitated secure transactions but also promoted user engagement through referrals. The development process focused on maintaining the nostalgic feel of the original project while enhancing it with modern functionality and design.

Project Results

GolfMatchPlay.com has successfully created an engaging and dynamic golf community. The Leaderboard and unique match restrictions have driven competition and interaction among players. The integration of PayPal and the Affiliate program has streamlined payments and incentivised user growth.

The collaboration between IT House and GolfMatchPlay.com has resulted in a vibrant, user-friendly platform that honours its legacy while embracing contemporary features, supporting the global golf community effectively.
