Leagues and other forms of regular and recurring competitions provide an opportunity for golfers to enjoy the club, meet other players, and develop comraderie. In turn, leagues increase play and potentially increase revenue for the club. In this Spotlight, we outline seven ways that Golf Genius can save you time, increase participation, and enhance the quality of your leagues.
Save Time with Online Round Signups:
Making it easier to sign up is a sure-fire way to increase your league participation. Using Golf Genius, you can send round invitation emails to all players in the league roster. These emails serve as a reminder about upcoming rounds and allow players to sign up with one click. Players can also log into the league portal to sign up for any upcoming rounds.

Mix Up the Pairings:
Fostering player relationships is a key component to a successful golf club operation. Golf clubs that promote a friendly and welcoming atmosphere where “everyone knows your name” will generate more club activity and revenue.
Golf Genius can help you achieve this by automatically generating league pairings for each round in your season while minimizing repeats. You can also create “Keep Together” and “Spread Apart” rules to further hone your pairings. Click Here for details.
Easily Manage League Standings:
League standings can be tedious to manage and update. Furthermore, standings are sometimes only displayed on a paper sheet and barely visible to the players.
Managing league standings with Golf Genius requires very little work. As each round is completed, the standings are automatically updated and displayed on your league website. This allows players to track their performance, adds to the excitement, and drives interest and participation throughout the season.

Engage Players with a League Website:
A great benefit of using Golf Genius is the ability to create league websites (with customized background images, banners, and logos) to drive participation and share league information (including pairings, tee times, results, and league standings).
You can enrich your league website by creating additional pages using the widgets below:
Upload photos using the Photo Stream Widget.
Add league statistics using widgets such as Player Analytics, Most Improved Player, and Course Analytics.
Chat with other players in the league using the League Talk Widget .

Add Drama with Live Scoring in the Mobile App:
A key feature of Golf Genius is live scoring through the mobile app which allows players to easily enter scores and view live leaderboards on their device.
To complement the live scoring, set up the TV leaderboard in the clubhouse and players will be more inclined to stick around (and generate more F&B revenue). For details on mobile app live scoring, Click Here.
We hope these features will save time, increase participation, and enhance the quality of your leagues.
