Increase tee-times and pro-shop sales, improve marketing and member services

Featured on page 12 Golfing Magazine - April 2009 Issue

Green Island Interactive announces a significant upgrade to its Site Caddy system for golf clubs, professionals and societies.  Launched in 2001, Site Caddy is currently being used by dozens of Irish golf clubs and societies to improve their online tee-time bookings, marketing and member services.  The upgraded version still remains focused on ease-of-use and return on investment, but introduces a slew of new features including a new ‘Golf Pro Package’ to help golf professionals.
 
Site Caddy offers a ‘pay as you go’ service providing clients with an ever improving service at a set low monthly fee reducing the burden of high cost web development.  As a completely online system, there is no software to install or upgrade – ever.  Users can login from any computer with an internet connection and update their website, post results, send text messages and e-newsletters, and much more.
 
New features focus on expanding their already market-leading SMS text messaging service, offering e-commerce functionality for event and shop sales, as well as a new set of tools for teaching professionals. 

Site Caddy is “built by golfers for golfers, and little technical skill is expected or required.  If you’re web savvy enough to find out how Padraig Harrington played over the weekend or buy a sleeve of golf balls online, you have all the technical skills required to use Site Caddy” says Green Island’s Founder and CEO John Flanagan.  “We don’t expect golf managers and pros to undergo hours of training to use our systems- they don’t have the time.  So we go the extra mile to make our systems extremely easy to use and integrate.”
 
With a brother that teaches professionally in the US and a long time student of the game himself, Mr. Flanagan feels Site Caddy is uniquely suited to help pros increase shop sales, attract new students, and offer new services to their pupils.  “The expectations of the modern student are growing.  Video, fitness, psychology, strategy- they expect a lot from their teachers!  Our new ‘Golf Pro Package’ is going to give them the tools and the content they need to deliver.”  And the easy to use nature of the system should be a blessing to already time-strapped professionals.
