Benefits to the club:
The system is fully automated so no one at the club has an extra task.
Reminders are sent directly to golfers mobile devices.
Fewer no-shows which results in greater revenue for the club.
Fewer calls to the club to confirm tee times, which means that staff can focus on other tasks.
Replies to reminders are send via email back to the club.
Members update their mobile phone numbers so they can receive reminders from the club.
Reminders are always sent from the same mobile number so members know exactly who the message is from.
If the course is closed or play delayed a bulk SMS can be sent to golfers on the start sheet giving them a status update.
If the club stocks the sponsors’ products then the service is FREE to the club, if we can tag the reminder with the sponsors’ message.
