SGM Websites Ltd recently launched Golf Group Manager (GGM) a web based program that caters to golf groups/leagues who want to put time saving technology to work for them. Highly intuitive and logical, it provides members and executives with easy-to-use features that organize and streamline administrative, communication and data management tasks.
The prototype to GGM evolved over a 4 year period in response to the frustration expressed by golf club members who wanted a better, smarter and faster way to organize and operate their golf league. While there were handicap and tournament websites available, the marketplace did not offer a comprehensive, multi-functional package that managed the tasks necessary to manage golf groups.
GGM has a solid foundation based on 15+ years of golf executive know-how and over 10 years of website programming expertise. The many features are modeled from processes used by highly organized, well structured, and responsible golf groups. First hand knowledge and understanding of those who would be using the website was vital to designing the time-saving functions to bring a clear, logical layout with great attention to detail.
GGM was developed to exceed expectations and bring unsurpassed member value. Experience and knowledge of golf group organizations led to its creation and future development will be a collaboration of well thought out and tested processes. GGM embodies the following attributes:
Depth – It is a program that provides a better way to manage golf groups/leagues. It is a multifunctional tool aimed at saving time and maximizing convenience.
Intelligent – Years of thought, discussion, debate, testing, re-working and re-testing have been invested into developing a program that encompasses all facets, even the ones you haven’t thought of yet, for the best in golf group management practices.
Completeness – GGM is a total program that delivers end-to-end functions with an array of enhancements.

Linda's background in project management and business processes along with 15+ years of golf executive experience led to the development of GGM not only for her golf group’s use but for all those groups that know there had to be a better, smarter and faster way to handle the workload. Greater insight was also garnered from work with a National Not-for-Profit on their website to add functionality, content and workflow.
Linda also brings to the table, skills from leadership roles in local, nationals and international sporting events where she was valued for her outstanding ability to organize wide scope portfolios, provide incisive attention to detail and attract numerous volunteers to join in the fun.

Website Operations
Willy Grieve, owner of Cityline Websites, worked with a local golf club in 2006 to determine a more efficient way to handle operations of the group. This included keeping track of games, storing files, and signing up for events online. Over the next several years, the requirements and clientele grew into an extensive site that could essentially create a paperless system.
Linda Irwin, at that time captain of her golf group, was approached about creating the next generation of the golf software. This version could be accessed by any group world-wide, with a self-help / self-guided setup. Linda could provide her marketing background and expertise in order to create a great product. This new version was called Golf Group Manager.
Willy contributes the technical expertise for Golf Group Manager including programming, search engine optimization, design, and online and social media marketing.
