This season saw the biggest technological advance at Greenburn since medal woods replaced persimmon clubs, in the activation of the online tee booking system.
We have seen over 250 of our members register to use the online tee booking system, and it’s being used; a lot. Over 2,000 rounds of golf have been booked by our members so far this season.
The feedback has been very positive in the main. One of the only negatives we’ve seen was the way that the system displayed on mobile devices. Unlike our own website it was far from mobile friendly.

As you can see the user experience wasn’t pretty with much pinch and zooming going on, and it was very easy to make mistakes.
It’s not possible to always be by a desktop computer when the tee opens for booking.
BRS Golf have recognised that this is an issue and have set about rectifying the problem. The first phase of their mobile strategy sees the launch of a native iPhone app. The app is available in the app store (search BRS golf).

The user experience is much improved, and I would urge any one who has an iPhone to download the app. You can thank me later! There is no timescale for the launch of the Android version of the app, however given Golfnow has Android versions of their other applications I would imagine the launch will be imminent.
