How JORD Works

Two contests. One team.
The whole tournament.

JORD turns Team Longest Drive and Team Closest to the Pin into a stadium experience. Every player's drive counts. Every approach counts. The clubhouse watches the totals climb in real time.

The Novelty

It's not one prize for the longest drive.
It's every yard, for your team.

Traditional contests reward one player. JORD scores every drive and every approach for all four teammates, stacks the totals, and ranks the teams live. The side game becomes a four-player race.

Format One

Team Longest Drive

Four players. One designated hole. Every drive that lands on the fairway adds to the team's total yardage.

  • All four drives count — no one carries the team alone
  • Rough adds a penalty, OOB is zero
  • Live team totals on the leaderboard
  • Winning team takes the championship
&
Format Two

Team Closest to the Pin

Four players. One par-three. Each player's approach distance from the cup is summed for a single team score.

  • Lowest combined inches wins the team
  • Off the green? Configurable penalty
  • GPS-accurate, rangefinder optional
  • Run both contests at the same event
01 — The Live Show

The clubhouse watches the lead change in real time.

Cast the leaderboard to a TV. Every drive that lands re-ranks the teams. Every ball drop appears on a satellite map of the contest hole. Players, families, sponsors — they all see the standings update the moment a shot is submitted.

02 — The Map

Every shot lands on the hole, in real time.

Switch to map view and the leaderboard expands across a satellite image of the contest hole. Color-coded zones for fairway, rough, and OOB. Every ball drop visible. A "Hole Tour" button plays a 30-second cinematic flyover on demand.

03 — The Player Moment

Hit your shot. Scan your ball. Watch it land.

Every ball has a 6-character code on a QR sticker. Players scan, GPS locks the position, the system auto-detects fairway, rough, or out of bounds, and a satellite flyover replay plays full-screen. The whole flow takes about twelve seconds. No app to download.

Mobile-first by design

Twelve seconds, start to finish.

OTP-style 6-character code entry, paste-friendly, auto-advance. GPS lock indicator with accuracy readout. Optional rangefinder override for Closest to the Pin shots.

Built for iOS and Android. No installation, no permissions friction, no app store reviews.

04 — The Setup

Paint your hole on a satellite map. We score the rest.

Open the admin console, drag to draw the fairway, mark the rough and OOB zones, drop the pin. The system handles every shot from there — automatic zone detection, penalty rules, all of it. Setup takes under five minutes.

06 — The Closing Moment

The end of the tournament is its best part.

When the contest closes, the leaderboard transforms. Total yards driven hero. Zone breakdown. Champion team showcase with sorted player drives. The all-time record for that course, kept in the JORD Hall of Fame. A closing ceremony built right into the screen.
