What our Head Golf Professionals are Saying about Golf Hub
"Golf Genius’ Golf Hub option gave us a tremendous platform through which we were able to keep our membership informed as to the particulars of all the tournaments at the club. A single e-mail blast with a link to the Hub or to a specific event was all it took to keep our members well-informed. It saved us many of hours of work each week and we highly recommend it!" Todd Scarafoni, Bass Rocks Golf Club
"Best feature in the Golf Hub is the ability to set up registration and link it to your website for easy access for members and guests. My first year at Tatnuck, we used it for all our events because we did not use TM Premium. But in year two, we used it for our Worcester County Women's Amateur and the registration was seamless and easy to link to my stripe account. Golf Hub is great if you don't have TM Premium at first and you want to try out Golf Genius registration. It is also easy to set up for registration and link to any tournaments. I highly recommend Golf Hub for any golf professional or golf club trying to enhance the member or guest experience.”
Youth on Course supporters from across the country become “Hikers” and take on the formidable challenge of playing (and walking!) 100 holes of golf in one day, all in an effort to help ensure young people have affordable access to golf and the life-changing opportunities that come with playing the sport. Consider donating to the Mass Golf Hike Team to support $5 rounds for youth in our state.
If your golfers want an easy way to reference their Course Handicap from a specific tee set, consider printing out the Course Handicap Table report in GHIN and posting it in a locker room or bulletin board.
Here's how to access your course's report:
Go to "Reports" tab > "Templates" tab > "Course Handicap Table" > click on "View" > customize the criteria and date range of your choosing with the pulldown menus > click "Run".
