Freetime-Online for Members
Virtually all Golf Clubs have a website.
Most will have some type of members area or facility as part of their site.
Some use third party competition results services that take the members away from the club's own website (if they ever go there to begin with). Some clubs provide online booking but this will require a different login than the one the member needed to look at competition results. Very few have facilities that allow members to enter competitions online and to check their time in the draw.
Only Freetime-Online brings all of these facilities and more to the member.
Freetime-Online is a single secure facility that requires almost no additional management effort from the club.
The Freetime-Online's Members' Area is password protected.
All members are automatically registered for the Members' Area by the Freetime Member Management System.
All the member needs to know is his unique (member) number and a password that will be automatically created.
The Members' Area fulfils a number of key functions.
- The Members serve themselves.
They book their own times, enter competitons, check draws, results and handicaps. They can download a handicap certificate that can be verified by another club online. They can check their account balance, update their own personal details and see what's new on the various noticeboards (see below). All of these facilities vastly reduce the administrative overheads of the clubs that use them leaving the staff free to concentrate on delivering the best service possible.
- It increases accessibility.
Being able to book or enter competitions online makes life easier for members who for a variety of reasons find it difficult to get a game. These are the members who will often find it difficult to justify their annual subscription. These are the members who it is important to keep engaged with your Club.
- It improves communication.
By offering a Club the opportunity to communicate more effectively with its members, to include them and inform them about what is happening at their Club. A club more actively engages with its members.
Many clubs talk about members who turn up, change their shoes, play and leave. Are they really looking at the notice boards?
If however they have access to an online facility that allows them to book times, enter competitions, check their time in the draw, etc then we know that they will use it. And there is your opportunity to communicate with them all day every day.
At times of increasing competition for a limited number of members, a Club has to keep up to date both with technology and with its customers, Freetime-Online provides the platform which enables you to do that.
