According to the National Golf Foundation, there are 28.7 million golfers and nearly 16,000 golf facilities in the U.S. While many golfers find challenge in the game itself, those individuals charged with organizing and managing golf games – known as golf captains – encounter more frustration and exasperation off the course.
GolfCaptains.com is a free online golf game website created specifically to assist golf captains by turning the time-consuming process into a simple point-and-click task. GolfCaptains.com is an easy-to-use, web-based program (no software required) automates the team selection process, sets tee times, provides member notifications and maintains the membership roster with each player’s availability and schedule. One of the most significant features of GolfCaptains.com is the “PairingsOptimizer,” which automates the team selection process with a single click, but allows the golf captain to make changes.
According to GolfCaptains.com co-creator Pete Solano, the web site was inspired by his own frustration of being a golf captain. “The golf captain plays an important role in the success of group golf games, but the time and dedication required can be overwhelming,” he explains. “This web site eliminates the need for lengthy lists, complicated spreadsheets and multiple phone calls and e-mails. The result is a more efficient and enjoyable golf group.”
Utilizing the Internet as the world’s best collaboration tool, GolfCaptains.com is also the first online golf game social networking specifically for golf groups, allowing them to communicate, discuss golf rules and share social calendars. In the future, products from Callaway (NYSE:ELY), Nike (NYSE:NKE), Adidas (OTC:ADDYY, ADS), Adams Golf, Inc. (OTCBB:ADGO) and others will be available to members via the site’s online store.
