Golf Card Affliate eNewsletter, July 2013
Dear Course Director,
As we grow through our first year as the new owners, we personally want to thank each and every one of our affiliate courses for participating in Golf Card International. Our goal is to help bring more rounds to your course when you need them most. During our first year of ownership, it was our goal to make contact with each and every one of you and make sure we had the correct information for your course including discounts for Golf Card members, addresses, contact information and images. You can view your courses dedicated page on our web site using this link:
You can avoid paying fees with 3rd party tee time reservation companies! We have created a state of the art tee time reservations system that is FREE to all of our affiliate courses. There is no integration costs with this simple, easy to use email based system and no change to your current business model. All you have to do is offer our members space available discounted tee times. You control the times that you would like to offer the discounts. The only way to make a reservation on our system is by having our members login to their account. This way you will know they are a Golf Card member. We will also be booking your full price tee times as well, for FREE! What better way to help bring revenue at absolutely no cost to you? To get more information on how valuable this system is, click on the link below and let Jay know you are interested.

Our system is an E-mail confirmation system. We simply require your first tee time of the day and your tee time minute intervals. We plug in the designated times with GCI member rates and fill the remaining times with your full rack rates. Many of our affiliate courses are sprinkling in GCI rates throughout the day similar to 3rd party tee sheets but with one major difference... NO COST.
Our members pick a time on our reservation sheet for your course and hits submit. The requested tee time E-mail is sent to your designated E-mail address then your shop personnel reviews the requests. With one click they can fulfill it or they can grab the closest time to the requested time and an automated E-mail is sent back to the GCI member and it automatically copies our headquarters.
We have a sample of our membership card below so that you can let your staff know what to look for when one of our members makes a tee time at your course. All of our members are required to present their card when they show up at the course.
Golf Card has been approved and is going into Walmart.com starting July 1st. This is huge for us and you for many reasons. It will increase our membership which means more people will be coming to your course. By October 1st, Golf Card will be in an additional 20 top digital storefronts. Our website has been completely rebuilt which results in over 150,000 site viewers monthly. Also, we have partnered with several major companies to help distribute 50,000 memberships within the next month. This is a marketing expense of around $2.9 million dollars for Golf Card, but we feel it will be of a huge value for moving forward for you as well as for Golf Card.
If your course is hosting a tournament we want to know about it! We are creating a NEW section on our website to help promote local tournaments. We will post your tournament's information on our website and send out email notifications to our members located in your area to help drive players to your tournaments.
If you would like to participate in selling Golf Card memberships at your course, we will pay you $25 for each membership and we will also pay you $10 for each year that the member renews for the life of the membership! This is an easy way to earn extra profit dollars with NO OVERHEAD!
