This feature is available for the following product:
While we typically use Tournament Management for core golf event tasks like, scorecards, scoring, and leaderboards, most associations and facilities host a broader range of activities. These often include annual meetings, social gatherings, dinners, and other non-golf events. To accommodate this, you can set up a dedicated 'Non-Golf Event.' This leverages the familiar functionalities of our event/league system but streamlines the user experience by presenting a simplified menu focused on non-golf activities.
In this article, we will discuss creating and setting up a non-golf event and highlight some key differences between non-golf events and events/leagues.
Creating a Non-Golf Event
A non-golf event can be added to the Customer Center. To create your next non-golf event, follow these directions:
From the Customer Center, Click "Create New Event/League/Trip" .
Enter the name of the event.
Set the Type to Non-Golf Event (as shown below).
Click "Get Started" to begin setting up your non-golf event.
Highlights of the Differences
There will be some key differences in the language used between an event/league and a non-golf event:
Non-Golf Event: The term Non-Golf Event will be used in places were you would typically see the term Event/League.
Participants: The term Participants will be used in the place of Golfers.
Event Days: The term "Event Days" will be used in place of "Rounds." The Calendar and Rounds Tabs will be combined.
The following features are not available in Non-Golf Events (Note: If you wish to use them, please set up an Event/League instead.):
Course Details
Multi-Round Tournaments/Series
Handicap Management
Analytics
Round Signup
Round Tournaments
Scoring
And more.
Managers Site for Non-Golf Event
There are several menus available in a Non-Golf Event. These menus contain similar content to the menus that you might see in an Event/League. While not all content is available for a Non-Golf Event that you might see in an Event/League, you can find a description and information on how to utilize the features in related articles.
The menus available for a non-golf event and their related articles are as follows:
Non-Golf Event: Share the same content as the Event/League Menu.
Participants: Share the same content with the Golfers Menu.
Apps Menu: This menu shares the same content as the Apps Menu.
