Their own answers
Handicap, CDH number and start hole come from the player, so the booker never has to guess a partner's handicap.
A golf day, start to finish
One golf day, start to finish
This page follows one golf day: the Fairway Lane Society Spring Golf Day, 63 players, 16 four-balls and a clubhouse dinner. Each step is a real screen, and most of them have a demo you can try.
1. Set up the day
Places, four-balls, extras and the dinner
The secretary builds the booking page once: a 1-Player place at £95, a 4-Ball at £340 that issues four places, a golf pro, the clubhouse dinner, a society shirt and raffle entries. Each place carries the player details questions, set to be asked of every player after booking.
2. Player details
Handicap, CDH number and start hole
Write the questions once and reuse them every year. Handicap index is a number, the CDH number is optional, and the start hole is a single choice because the day is a shotgun. For a tee-time day, ask whether they would rather go out early or mid-morning instead.
3. Four-balls
The booker names their own players
Rob books a 4-Ball, a golf pro, four dinners and four raffle entries in one basket. Once he has paid, he types the names and emails of his three partners. Each of them gets their own place and their own link.
4. The player's page
Each player fills in their own details
Every player gets a page of their own. They answer the player questions, choose their dinner one course at a time, tell you about allergies, and can buy their own extras, such as a raffle entry or a golf pro, without going through the booker.
Their own dinner
Starter, main and dessert, with dietary tags on each dish. They can change a free choice later from the same page.
Their own extras
A player who wants raffle entries or a lesson with the pro pays for them, rather than the booker collecting money.
5. The tee sheet
Your tee sheet sits on the course plan
The golf template in the Venue designer gives you eighteen tees, each with a tee sheet beside it, and the clubhouse laid out next to the course: dinner tables, the registration desk and the prize table. Write each four-ball onto its tee and the whole day is on one plan.
6. Handicaps in one report
Every answer, counted for you
The Questionnaires tab adds up the answers as they arrive: how many players have replied, how the handicaps spread, and who wants which end of the course. That is what you make the four-balls from.
7. The clubhouse dinner
Menu, dietaries and seating
Players choose their courses when they book, and tell you about dietaries and any requests. You get the counts per dish for the kitchen, and auto-allocate seats the clubhouse with every four-ball kept on its own table.
8. The club brief
Send the club a read-only link
Share the table plan, the clubhouse layout and the dinner counts with the club's events team as a read-only link. They see seats, covers and dietaries. They never see a player's name or contact details.
9. The running order
The day's timings, in one place
Registration at 08:00, the briefing on the 1st tee, the shotgun at 09:30, drinks on the terrace, dinner at 19:00 and the raffle and prizes at 21:00. Players see the same timings on the event page.
10. Registration on the day
Tick players in from your phone
At the registration desk, open the event on any phone. Tick players in as they collect their scorecards and see who is still on the road, with their four-ball and tee beside each name.
Questions
Golf days, answered
Does the booker have to collect everyone's handicap?
No. The booker gives names and email addresses, and each player answers for themselves. Anyone who has not answered can be sent a reminder, and the booker can see who is outstanding.
Can someone book a four-ball before they know who is playing?
Yes. The four places are held and can be named later. They count on your numbers straight away.
Do you check handicaps or work out the scores?
No. Players give their own handicap index, and you can ask for a CDH number to check it yourself. Scoring and prizes stay with your committee.
Are the tee sheets filled in for us?
No. You write each four-ball onto its tee sheet, using the handicap and start-hole answers in the report. The whole day sits on one plan, which you can share with the club.
What if a player drops out the week before?
Refund the place or swap in a replacement. The dinner counts and the club brief update, and the replacement gets their own link to answer the questions.
Does the club need an account?
No. They open a read-only link in a browser. It shows seats, covers and dietaries, never names.
