Four weeks ago, the world of disc golf gathered in Tampere/Nokia for PDGA Pro Worlds 2025—the biggest event in the sport’s history. Parkdly was proud to serve as an official partner, delivering a brand-new kind of caddie book experience to thousands of players, fans, and media.
For the first time at a Worlds, navigating the courses was made easier, smarter, and more engaging with interactive, mobile-friendly course guides powered by Parkdly.
The Parkdly Caddie Books in Action
Instead of static PDFs and flat maps, the event featured Parkdly’s next-generation digital tools:
-
Accurate GPS-Based Layouts
Every hole was mapped with precision, giving both players and spectators reliable, real-world data. -
Distance Measuring Tools
Fans and media could measure distances instantly—turning every shot into a clearer story. -
Tournament-Ready Design
Stylish layouts that worked seamlessly across mobile devices, signage, and event media. -
Optimized for Mobile
Perfectly built for on-the-go use, whether walking the fairways or following along remotely.
Why It Mattered for Worlds
-
Course Design Flexibility – Layouts could be updated and shared live during preparations in just minutes. Adding grandstands or relief areas to the digital caddie books was simple and saved organizers valuable prep time.
-
One-Click Caddie Books – Players could quickly download a PDF version of the caddie books before heading to the course. No extra work for the staff—just one click to publish.
-
Last-Minute Tweaks – Event staff easily added clarifying guidelines and hole-specific rules directly into the official caddie books, cutting down on back-and-forth communication.
-
Consistent & Professional Look – Despite being the biggest disc golf event ever, the caddie books were effortless to produce and still looked world-class.
On-Course Experience
At Worlds 2025, tee signs were kept simple: basic hole information plus a QR code linking directly to the interactive caddie books.
This approach made things easier for the organizing team:
- Tee signs could be ordered and installed well in advance.
- Any updates or changes were handled digitally—no need to reprint or replace physical signage.
The result was a clean, professional look on the course while keeping the information fully flexible and always up to date.
Lessons from the World Stage
PDGA Pro Worlds 2025 proved that Parkdly isn’t just a tool for mapping—it’s a tournament platform. Players trusted it for accuracy, spectators loved its accessibility, and organizers saved time while elevating professionalism.
