Golfing Societies have very particular needs for their websites and as organisers of many Golfing Societies have come to realise, a Golfing Society website is not the same as a Golf Club website.

At net72 we understand these needs as most of us are members of Golfing Societies and some of us are involved in the running of Golfing Societies. Using our experience with Golfing Societies and our technical expertise, we have developed our Golf Societies websites.

We have created a demonstration website that will allow you to check out the functionality from behind the scenes that is available to you. Take a look around the site to view how we have designed the Committee page, presented recent winners of annual trophies and published the latest news.

We have a selection of Demonstration videos that show you how our Members Directory, Match Management and Matches & Meetings modules work, just follow this link for more information – Golfing Society Websites

Golfing Societies have matches and meetings that are generally organised by the Society secretary. Members of the Society are invited to sign-up for the meeting and they need to pay. Managing meetings is a fairly straightforward process but these days tend to involve multiple emails, spreadsheets and chasing for cash or cheques on the day.

One of the peculiarities of Golfing Societies is Match Management. In a Golf Club, this is fairly easy; the secretary pins up a list on the noticeboard in the clubhouse and members express their interest by writing their names on the list. Clearly, a golf society does not have a clubhouse and the Golfing Society members can be spread far and wide. A further complication is that in a Golfing Society, each match tends to have a Match Manager. The Match Manager is responsible for the fixture but generally doesn’t have the ability to contact all of the Golfing Society members.

Usually, the Golfing Society Secretary will put out a fixture list and then invite the members to express their interest in matches via email – a lot of work and a series of complicated spreadsheets later, the secretary sends out lists to the Match Managers. The Match Manager then has to manually transfer contact details and start to email those that have expressed their interest – all time-consuming and often exasperating. Our Match Management Module takes all of the pain away. Golfing Society members just go to the Matches and Meeting section, and express their interest with a single click. The Match Manager receives the request and a mailing list is built by the system so that the Match Manager can communicate right from the Golfing Society Website or from their normal email client
