(Note: If you are a Golf Genius TM Club user and want to use registration with your Event and Leagues, check out Golf Hub Registration. Click Here for details.)
​

In many cases, a manager will add players to a league or event via spreadsheet or manually. However, there may be cases where the manager wants to enable registration for a league or event that allows players to sign up themselves. By simply clicking on an online registration link, players will be able to sign up and automatically add themselves to the roster.

For instance, a public golf course may want to promote a charity golf tournament. The registration link can be placed anywhere on the golf course's website. When a player clicks on the link, he or she will be directed to the registration page to register. Or a private country club may elect to allow members to use registration for the annual member-member championship. Members can go to the Event Directory to sign up for the event.

If you would like to also collect payments from players online during registration, please read this article thoroughly on how to set up registration, then Click Here to read the article about the specifics of setting up the payment system. After connecting your payment system(s), you can also read the following article for details about setting up registration with payments:

Below is the information you will need to set up an event with registration. The same steps can be taken if you'd like to allow registration for a golf league.

Setting up the Registration Form:

To expedite the process of setting up your future event registration forms, we suggest setting up your default registration options first. This can be done by going to Customer Center > Directories & Registration > Default Event Registration Setup. From this page, you will be able to set the options available in the Registration Center. For more details on the Registration Center's available options, Click Here.

Once you've set up your default options, you can start setting up registration for specific events. To do this, follow these instructions:
​

  1. Go to League/Event > Registration Center > Registration Enablement tab to do the following:

    1. Check "Enable Registration" (if its not already enabled).

    2. Enter a Player Limit (if necessary)

  2. Go to the "Registration Setup" tab to do the following:

    1. Enter the number of members or guests who can register.

    2. Design the member and/or guest form(s).

  3. Go to the "Registration Dates" tab to set up the open/close dates. You can also manually open and close registration in the Registration Center or by going to Event/League Menu > Open/Close Registration.

  4. Go to the "Registration Description" tab to enter the description of the registration for the players.

  5. Click "Save".

Customizing the Automated Registration Emails:

There are a number of automated emails that will be sent to your players (e.g., registration confirmation, waitlist notice, cancellation notice). These automated emails have a default message. If you'd like to customize the messages in these emails, select the customization link in the registration form setup (as shown below).
​

You will then be directed to the Email Configuration page. For more details on configuring emails, Click Here.

Emailing Registration Links:

Many clubs will list Directories on their club website where members can go to access and register for events and leagues. However, sometimes there is a need to email members direct links to register for specific events and leagues. There are a few different types of links to accomplish this, and it is important to understand when to use each type of link. For details on emailing registration links, Click Here.

Player Registration Process:

Players can register by going to the event/league portal and selecting the registration option (as shown below).
​


They will then be directed to the registration page (as shown below).

The registration page has a few options. Players can register for the event or league, edit their current registration if they have already registered previously, see the list of players who are already registered, or view the Directory of Leagues & Events.

When clicking on "New Registration", the registrant will be directed to the registration form (unless member verification is needed. In this case, the member will first be asked to verify their membership by answering the custom field selected in the registration setup).

The sequence below shows the process of completing a registration form:

In the sequence above, Josh Fidler is registering himself and a guest for an event. Because Josh is a member (listed on the master roster), most of his information is already filled in. He just needs to select his transportation needs and the tee he would like to play from. After entering his information, he can navigate below to enter his Guest Info.

When the information is all entered, the player will click "Register". When doing this, all the player(s) that were registered will be placed on the player roster. The example above shows a typical form for a member-guest event, but remember that registration can be used for member-members, club championships, charity scrambles, and many more kinds of events, leagues, outings, etc.

Registration Reports:

During the registration period, you can:

  • View all the registrants (and their information) by going to Golfers > Event/League Roster.

  • View the registration activity by going to Event/League > Roster Activity Log.

  • Download the current roster into a PDF by going to Golfers > Event/League Roster > Roster Report.
