SYSTEM OVERVIEW

(click here to return to the The Strategic Advantage)

TKCS designed a simple to use, but flexible database application to manage events - in this case, golf tournaments. The database captures basic information, such as the contact information, tournament format, and number of holes. It also manages the entire list of tournament players, proximity holes and sponsorship holes. Additional logistic information relating to catering, room set up and equipment is recorded and coordinated.

The majority of D'Arcy Ranch's corporate clients book annual events, and some plan multiple tournaments each year. The tournament coordinator saves time on data entry by duplicating the tournament details and invoicing information, thereby focusing on fine-tuning the tournament.

A spreadsheet is provided to the client to facilitate the team setup. This sheet is emailed to the coordinator, who then imports it into the database. Team lists, scorecards, and bag tags are prepared, and tee times, carts, and starting holes are assigned. Once the tournament has been confirmed, relevant information is shared between departments, such as the pro shop and catering.

In the off-season, D'Arcy Ranch uses our program to organize the logistics for meetings and any other events they are hosting.
