IMPACT TOURNAMENT SYSTEMS
Impact Tournament Systems offer premier golf-event scoring and presentation software that has changed the way Golf Professionals plan, run and execute their tournaments and club competitions. 

Impact's software was designed by individuals who are experienced with running golf tournaments and know first-hand some of the frustrations event managers encounter behind the scenes. Its user-friendly interface makes event setup, score entry and output an easy, hassle-free process for any kind of tournament or league. Impact keeps your participants engaged before, during and after your event as well thanks to its array of presentation options, including real-time live scoring and on-screen displays to report results and other tournament info, acknowledge sponsors and more on-site at your event. 

Impact Tournament Systems is an Affiliate Partner of the Association and the official scoring software used by the PGA of BC.
