Below you’ll see some advantages of the golf tracking system that have been highlighted. 

These include accurate planning of shots, distance to other playing groups, additional revenue, instant communication regardless of location, and sending important alerts.

Plan Shots & Measure Distance

The golf cart tracking system will ensure that you’ll have an accurate measurement of the

front, back, and middle of the green, as well as yardage. It means that players can accurately plan their shots, which will improve their overall experience.

Players will also be able to find out – in real-time – where the other playing groups are in relation to their group, which is essential for social distancing.

The system will also be updated as pin locations change.

The tracking of golf carts can also increase revenue because the device can be used as an upsell tool to golfers entering the vicinity of the halfway house or clubhouse.

Notifications can be sent to alert players of food or beverage options and any specials available. It’s an excellent tool for increasing communication, as well as the pre-placing of orders to make players aware of your offering to increase revenue and speed up play.

“Tagmarshal has helped our course get on top of the pace of play. We are now a proud 4-hour round course,” said Curt Larson, Director of Golf at Wisconsin Club.

New Revenue Streams

The tracking systems are equipped with 7” and 10” high-resolution quality screens, which come with custom advertising space to sell. Your team can easily manage the process.

It’s a wonderful way to earn additional revenue for the golf course.

“Our goal is to improve the experience for our guests while maximizing our revenue potential, and Tagmarshal has helped us to do both. We have reduced our labor expense on the golf course, increased our round capacity, and realized many operational efficiencies utilizing Tagmarshal,” said Mike O’Reilly, PGA Head Professional at Whistling Straits.

Easier Communication with Players

The two-way real-time communication via the golf cart tracking screen means that there’ll always be an instant communication stream between the operations team and players.

Logistically this is a win, as the communication can be done from the office or pro shop. There is no need to find the players on the course as you can ask them to return to their position remotely. It also allows for smaller teams to be used more efficiently, which saves on labor.

“Optimizing staff at peak hours, confirming operational efficiencies, and giving the on-course team the data to manage the pace of play professionally and objectively are immediate benefits. It’s an investment we’re making to ensure our members have a successful golf experience,” said Andrew Adamsick, Head Golf Professional at Conway Farms Golf Club.

Food and beverages from the halfway house can be ordered via the device, which becomes very efficient and saves time.

Any important emergency alerts can be sent out immediately as needed. No delay means that lives can be saved and lawsuits can be prevented, as it covers all grounds. There’s evidence of the direct message being sent and received.

Geofencing

Automated alerts can be sent to players in real-time when they breach a geofence and enter a restricted area.

The screen will display a message, which remains there until the players move back onto the golf course’s path or a correct section.

It doesn’t prevent them from driving at an average speed, so if it’s an emergency, they’re able to quickly and effectively proceed to the clubhouse for assistance, if needed. The players will have peace of mind, and there’ll be less risk of litigation for the golf course.

“We wanted as much information as possible, and Tagmarshal delivered on giving us the data we were looking for. This technology has been instrumental in helping us create rules and objectively implement them,” said Mario Guerra, PGA Head Professional at Quaker Ridge.
