OHSAA Announces Golf Live Scoring Through Wanamaker Corporation
New platform will be used at all OHSAA golf tournament contests
 
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio High School Athletic Association has announced a multi-year partnership with Wanamaker Corporation, creator of the OHSAA Golf app and iWanamaker golf event management software. The platform is a live scoring app and website at https://www.iwanamaker.com/
 
The OHSAA Golf app powered by iWanamaker is a robust and scalable golf event management platform designed specifically for high school golf. The partnership makes the OHSAA Golf app powered by iWanamaker the official live scoring and rankings hub for OHSAA Golf beginning with the upcoming 2022 OHSAA golf season.
 
The OHSAA will continue to partner with Baumspage for tournament entry and data management purposes, as well.
 
Through its proven Golf Tournament Management Platform (iWanamaker and associated native apps), the platform will also provide athletic directors, coaches and student-athletes free access to schedules, live leaderboards, player scorecards, rankings and more. Spectators can purchase a pass to access content and a portion of the ticket revenue is shared with the OHSAA and its member schools.
 
“We are excited to be in a partnership with Wanamaker Corporation,” OHSAA Executive Director Doug Ute said. “This will ensure fans, parents, student-athletes and school officials receive real-time results as they support Ohio student-athletes during regular and postseason golf events.”

"We are excited to partner with the OHSAA to bring online secure scoring, accurate golfer rankings and increased scoring integrity to all members of the Ohio high school golf community,” Wanamaker Corporation CEO Doyle Heisler said. “Ohio has a long history of producing many prominent golfers, and together with the OHSAA, we are excited to help increase awareness and grow the sport across the state."
