Golf car accessory provides on-course messaging to extend personalized service and streamline operations
Surrey, BC, May 15, 2012 — DSG Fleet Solutions, the golf industry leader in fleet tracking, announced today the installation of its TAG TEXT solution onto golf carts at Alberta’s Pipestone Golf Club. Located west of Grande Prairie, Pipestone Golf Club offers an 18-hole course set in the Peace Country region of northern Alberta. The course was designed and built by the Hanson family, who strive to offer a highly welcoming, personalized experience for golfers of all levels.
“We extend a warm welcome to Pipestone Golf Club which is one of northern Alberta’s golf attractions,” stated Rob Silzer, VP of Sales. “Using TEXT together with TAG helps family-run golf operations such as Pipestone Golf Club stay in touch with golfers anywhere on the course, extending their highly personalized service.”
“The benefits of adding on-course communication along with managing their golf car fleet are quick to realize,” Silzer pointed out. “In the era of text messaging, personalized messages to golfers on the course can boost promotions and ensure golfer loyalty. Whether you are confirming a future tee-time reservation, promoting a happy hour special or an upcoming event, TEXT helps you reach golfers in a personal way. If a golfer tries to drive a golf car into zoned-off area, a gentle reminder is delivered. At the end of the day, staff can send wind-down messages to return to the club house while reminding them when the kitchen or bar closes. With tournament season coming up, TEXT ensures a smooth and efficient event. All event participants can be notified simultaneously and updated with event announcements throughout the event from the shotgun start time to the awards banquet. Non-participants are discreetly messaged to keep away from the holes reserved for the event.”
The latest member of the TAG product family, TAG TEXT is a welcome golf car accessory for golfers and operators alike. This weather-resistant alphanumeric text display provides a discreet, direct information channel to the golfer with timely prompts, warnings and notifications. Whether golfers are falling behind in the pace of play, entering restricted areas or violating cart path rule, the pro shop and club house can take immediate action before risks turn into problems. Custom messaging allows course management to deliver announcements about specials, tee-time confirmations, tournaments, and course news.
DSG TAG is a revolutionary fleet management and tracking system designed for the golf industry. It provides golf course operators with an innovative approach for tracking golf car fleets, vehicles, and workflow in and around the course. The system uses a combination of GPS and cellular technology to report on the exact location and status of all tagged cars, vehicles and equipment, send messages to drivers, and issue alerts to facility managers. TAG’s web-based application is custom-designed for the golf industry for 24/7 monitoring and reporting. DSG TAG installations are located in North America, Europe and Australia.
