  Online League Tracker Web Product Launched by PGA Professional Dave Johnson

July 23, 2008; Press Release, Omaha, Neb.

Dave Johnson a PGA green grass professional from Omaha, Nebraska announces the national launch of Online League Tracker a free member service for golf leagues. Dave has been a fellow PGA member for the past 22 years. He managed a private club for 19 years before becoming the owner of The Knolls, an 18 hole daily fee course 4 years ago. Having been a past President of the Nebraska Section, Dave understands the importance of sharing strategies that help enhance a player’s experience while adding to a course’s bottom line. Realizing how much leagues contribute to a course’s total rounds played, Dave developed OLT to enhance The Knoll’s league package. Identifying that league administrators are the life line to a course’s league play. Online League Tracker was designed to reduce the hassles an administrator encounters managing a league.

OLT is a web based golf league solution that allows the league’s manager to create, calculate, track and display golf handicaps, individual and team points, score cards, schedule matches, display the season’s calendar and easily communicate with league members. Allowing members to view handicaps, point changes, team standings, weekly pairings, schedules, current weather and rain outs from anywhere with internet access reduces nuisance inquires to both the administrator and the golf pro.

Online League Tracker is a best of breed solution that offers all the features of the other web based systems combined. Solutions which cost $50–$200 per league per year. These features include but are not limited to a private website for every league (including email blast, message board and a photo gallery), USGA or custom handicap calculations, a scheduling wizard that can handle multiple tracks and courses on the same night, custom score cards complete with each week’s current pairings and strokes.

Initially OLT was developed for The Knolls and was planned to be offered to other leagues for a fee. Securing sponsorship has allowed Dave to offer it for free to Green Grass Professionals when a PGA member is the one setting up the league.

In developing OLT, we designed it to benefit the Golf Professional in every way possible.

1. The annual subscription of $99 is waived when a league is set up by you a PGA member. To set up your leagues you merely have to enter the League Administrators and their email addresses.
2. Access to the system can be limited through the course’s existing website increasing your site’s traffic and ability to promote and market the course’s services.
3. A feature rich hosted website is offered at no cost to those courses currently not maintaining a website or wanting to upgrade their existing site.
4. This navigation setup also offers the course an alternative channel of communicating with league players reducing staff time fielding unnecessary phone inquiries and other league administrated tasks.
5. Additional revenue generating services for the Pro can be offered at your discretion as they become available.
