“My course mate and I are both very keen golfers and when we heard about the Sports Innovation Challenge in our final year we thought we should enter. There aren’t many golf apps aimed at increasing participation in the sport, and we thought we should try and fix that problem. All of the lecturers were great and very helpful. Everyone is very encouraging which is exactly what you need.
