Responsible consumption and production: by digitalizing Closest to the Pin tournaments.
By switching from paper-based tournaments to digital reporting, CTTP Golf reduces waste and unnecessary resources. Technology and golf can work hand in hand for a better climate.

Permanent installation
QR code as one-time installation
Per course only one QR code is needed: and it only needs to be made once. The club can choose material based on needs: printed paper (rarely replaced), plastic or metal (lasts decades outdoors). Once installed, always ready.
