A
merican Golf just released a
game-changer tool for golf
tournaments. In partnership
with Sadie Golf, an online platform
has been unveiled that takes away all
the stress and worry of planning and
executing a successful tournament.
For decades, planning a tourna-
ment has meant gathering paperwork
via fax or in person, organizing that
physical paperwork and then going
to great lengths to ensure clear com-
munication among golfers and golf
course managers. American Golf saw
a clear need for an improved system,
and this platform is the answer. It al-
lows any tournament organizer to
create an external customized website
that details all of the event informa-
tion. Tournament heads can include
player and sponsorship package de-
tails on the website, and there's also a
place for players and sponsors to ac-
tually register and pay online. The
platform then organizes that informa-
tion digitally, completely removing
the hassle of shuffling paperwork.
"One of the biggest challenges with
planning a tournament is facilitating
easy communication between the
course and the tournament chair,"
says Jennifer Tinney, National Direc-
tor of Sales at American Golf. "This
platform facilitates communication
and eliminates the disorganized pass-
ing of spreadsheets."
Perhaps the most exciting feature
of this new platform is that it's com-
pletely free to anyone who wants to
use it.
"There are multiple programs
available out there that allow players
to register online, but they're very ex-
pensive," says Tinney. "If you're a
non-profit organization, or if you're
hosting the very first tournament for
your company, an expensive system
could be too much."
American Golf's goal was to
create an online management pro-
gram with resources and tools to
help tournaments be successful —
regardless of the size or scope of the
tournament.
