Jenison, MI (March 10, 2009) – Handicomp, Inc., the elder statesman in golf industry computer system services, is pleased to announce that Rick Smith, a world renowned golf instructor and personality, has entered a long term agreement to promote and endorse Handicomp’s League System, which includes the Golf League Network and Golf League Championship; respectively www.GolfLeagueNetwork.com and www.GolfLeagueChampionship.com.
The Golf League Network serves a wide variety of leagues, including social leagues, and the Golf League Championship serves 2-person team leagues interested in having their winners qualify for and compete in regional/state league championship tournaments. A major component of the League System is the Internet based league management software application, which benefits league courses, league administrators (secretaries), and league golfers. In a nutshell, the League System is designed to serve league golfers by marrying leading edge Internet technology with industry market power to better serve and grow the game of golf, and to further cultivate the social aspect of the game by promoting the theme “Golf is Fun”.
In Rick’s words, “I’m excited to be part of the League System Team. Leagues represent some of the most passionate golfers in the game. The GLN and GLC provide great platforms for these golfers to enjoy their league play even more. I am impressed with Handicomp’s partner associations around the League System, confident in GLN’s and GLC’s ability to engage the league golfer, and I’m eager to be involved.”
According to Stewart Healey, President of Handicomp, “We are very pleased to have Rick join what we think is an already impressive team. What makes it even sweeter is that we’re a Michigan company and Rick’s a Michigan guy. He’s highly respected, he’s well known nationally and internationally, he’s got great ideas, and we firmly believe he’ll help us further connect with the everyman core golfers that make up most leagues at most courses.”
