Online Systems - TeeTimePlease

Background: TeeTimePlease is a revolutionary new online booking system for reserving tee times, including for groups and societies. Pros and their assistants waste valuable time taking these over the phone, with a high margin of error. TeeTimePlease not only automates the process of tee booking in real time, but also analyses course utilisation and provides the golfer with up-to-date course information. Objective: To save golf Professionals and clubs substantial amounts of time and money by automating and integrating tee time bookings.

Actions:
TeeTimePlease features the following functions, putting the Professional in full control:

	Block, society or competition bookings, with community messaging systems to keep all players informed.
	Flexibility of slot allocations, such as those reserved for members and those open to visitors. It can also take credit card details from visitors.
	Volume control, to set how many players can be on the course at one time, or times to be avoided. It can also set flexible time/price bands.
	Income projections, period statistics and a course utilisation summary.
	Events calendar and notice board.
	Settings/rules changes, so a busy day can be changed to only allow 4-balls.
	Weather forecast and sunrise/sunset calculations.

Results:
Participating golf pros have saved time and money – and their customers love the ease and convenience of booking online. “Nearly half our bookings are made by members from the comfort of their home or office – and of these, 100% are made using TeeTimePlease. The saving in staff time is immense,” said David Calvert, club secretary at Minchinhampton GC.
