The Video Club – How Your Entire Venue Can Reach Members At Home

5 Things You Should Be Adding To Your Club’s Event Section

How Golf Clubs Are Using Technology Post COVID-1

Part 1: Communications

In this rapidly changing environment where rules are being adjust almost daily, traditional methods – email, club notice board (defunct atm), letter – is either too slow, out of reach or they just plain don’t read them.

Even the new option of social media has its limits as it still requires your members to actively go and check.

As the general manager, this makes you and your team’s lives harder as your members don’t all know the new rules, what’s happening and how to behaviour (distancing, where to park, etc) and have to spend time painstakingly explaining this to them – from a safe distance of course!

This is where mobile app technology can remove this burden by allowing managers, even from the comfort of their own homes, to quickly and easily communicate directly to their members giving them instant updates, pointing them in right direction and keeping their members abreast of the club’s news and new rules.


Examples of club communications via CourseMate golf club app

Although every club has a slightly different way of operating, one thing remains the same - the need to communicate quickly and effectively, especially in this rapidly changing time, below are just a few examples:

  • Daily Updates
  • New Rules
  • Opening Times
  •  How To Book
  • Club News
  • Course Conditions
We have even see "Check Your Emails" for those longer important updates that will not fit into a push notification text box.

What used to take clubs hours to do, now takes them just minutes.

We recognised that the App had great potential as a communications tool as the Club prepared to reopen after the Covid-19 lock-down.

During the first week 89% of members downloaded it, we had over 14,500 page views and 354 users on average every day.

This exceeded all expectations and helped get members back playing, safely and responsibly - as a result, the App is now firmly entrenched as their preferred means of booking tee times and our preferred method of getting news to them.

I just wish we'd had it years ago.
