When I agreed to chair the Men’s Night committee at my club, I had no idea what I was doing. I auditioned several software packages but most were really just spreadsheets for recording scores and generating statistics. I also tried the usual games (skins, better-ball, blind partners, etc.) and awarded the typical prizes but there was something missing. I wanted to create some excitement at the club and I wanted our league day to be an event. It wasn’t easy. Six years ago I introduced a very simple version of the current golfscoring.net program and, thankfully, things slowly began to build. Just two years later we had over 250 players sign for up for our league and, for each of the last three years, we’ve averaged just over 190 players per week. So, how did we do it? I spent a great deal of time visiting with Conveners, Professionals, GM’s and F & B managers in order to determine exactly what they needed to organize, promote and run a successful golf league. Based on their feedback it was obvious that almost every club/league faced the same issues so I developed a scoring system that addressed those issues…
* Entering scores must be quick and easy
* Results must be available immediately
* Separate league handicaps
* Scoring method must appeal to every level of player from 0 – 36
* Scoring method rewards performance, promotes participation & eliminates “sandbagging”
* Results must be presented in an entertaining fashion
* Regular and easy communication with participants
* System must help build a sense of community, loyalty and camaraderie at the club
* Every participant must believe that their score matters, regardless of its relative quality.
