Most charity golf outings raise $15,000 to $100,000+ in a single day, but organizers are often forced to choose between third-party SaaS platforms that take **5% to 10% platform cuts** off gross proceeds or messy paper clipboards and fragile spreadsheets. Shotgun Golf Pro turns any WordPress site into a private tournament command center: retain every dollar of donor proceeds with 0% platform cuts, project executive-grade corporate sponsorship tiers, run volunteer check-in from iPads in under 30 minutes, provide live mobile hole-by-hole scoring on golf carts, broadcast real-time television leaderboards to clubhouse displays, and export 1-click manifests for your head golf professional. ### ⛳ Key Tournament Features * **0% Platform Fees:** Connect your own Stripe or PayPal merchant accounts. Zero platform commissions or per-player ticketing cuts.

No. Shotgun Golf Pro never takes a percentage cut of your registrations or sponsorships. Payments go directly to your Stripe or PayPal account under standard merchant rates. ### Can volunteers use their personal iPads or Android tablets on tournament morning? Yes. The volunteer kiosk runs in any standard mobile or tablet web browser. Simply load your tournament URL with `?standalone=1` (e.g. `yoursite.com/golf-dashboard/? standalone=1`) and enter your 4-digit staff passcode. ### How do team captains enter their foursome roster if they don’t know all player names yet? Captains can register and pay immediately. Shotgun Golf Pro generates a unique, passwordless “Magic Link” sent via email, allowing captains to update player names, emails, handicaps, shirt sizes, and dietary preferences anytime up to 48 hours before tee time. ### How does Live Mobile Scoring work for golfers on the course? Each cart receives a dedicated QR code or link (`?sgp_scorecard=1&token=...`) that opens a lightweight, zero-install mobile web scorecard. Scores entered by golfers are stored in offline `localStorage` and automatically sync to the server when connected. ### Are charitable 501(c)(3) receipts generated automatically? Yes. Shotgun Golf Pro calculates the IRS Section 170(f)(8) Quid Pro Quo tax substantiation( Total Paid minus Fair Market Value of greens fees, cart, and banquet lunch) and includes official legal receipt wording in donor confirmation emails. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Shotgun Golf Pro — Tournament Command Center & Operations Kiosk” is open source software.
