GOLF MERIDIAN / PRODUCT CASE STUDY
Golf Meridian
A global tournament calendar and viewing guide built for Chinese golf fans.
A WeChat Mini Program for Chinese golf fans, bringing curated global tournaments, course profiles, official tee times in the viewer's device timezone, and AI-assisted event interpretation into one clear mobile viewing journey.
01 / FOUR CONNECTED PRODUCT LAYERS
From the annual calendar to the course, one viewing journey stays connected.
The experience begins with a clear annual calendar, then adds tournament facts, official first-group tee times, AI-assisted interpretation, Course Profiles, and 18-hole guidance. Favorites, system-calendar actions, official links, and WeChat sharing keep the next step close to the event.
ONE JOURNEY / FOUR PRODUCT LAYERS
Annual calendar, month navigation, tournament type and six-tour filters.
Country, city, course, date, status, official link, and published first-group tee times.
30-second overview, event storylines, course strategy, and hole-by-hole viewing guidance.
Course Profile, regional and type filters, 18-hole layout, and linked tournaments.

02 / AI-ASSISTED EDITORIAL & TEE-TIME AUTOMATION
AI turns trusted sources into richer viewing guides—without touching tee-time facts.
Selected viewing guides use structured Source Packs, one bounded model call, and explicit source, schema, safety, and cost checks. Official tee times stay on a separate deterministic pipeline and publish only after every fact and remote-baseline check passes.

03 / PRODUCT & CONTENT ARCHITECTURE
One product, four clearly separated system roles.
GitHub holds canonical data, workflows, validation, and editorial Draft PRs. OpenAI API is used only to generate bounded content candidates. Approved remote content moves through Cloudflare R2, while the WeChat Mini Program resolves the latest valid content for the user.
