Le Golf National, Host of the 2018 Ryder Cup, Announces It Will Adopt Chronogolf’s Management Platform
Chronogolf and Le Golf National are proud to announce that the 2018 host of the Ryder Cup will adopt Chronogolf’s golf management software product. Le Golf National will roll out Chronogolf’s management software suite at all three of its Albatross, Eagle, and L’Oiselet courses in early 2019.
Ranked as one of Europe’s highest rated courses, Le Golf National typically handles over 60,000 rounds per year and hosts many tour operators. The signing is particularly notable given the facility’s high-level tournament status.
Recently Paul Armitage, General Manager at Le Golf National, was a guest on the Chronogolf Podcast. In his interview with Matt Welliver, VP of Corporate Development at Chronogolf, he explained Le Golf National’s strategy to introduce more automation to curb the demands of its busy operation. The podcast won an ING Media Award for best radio segment last week at the PGA Show and can be heard here.
Currently, the 9-hole L’Oiselet course is planned to support automated tee time reservations, payments, check-in, and pro shop purchases. Using Chronogolf and its best-of-breed integration partners, Le Golf National will be able to alleviate staffing burdens and simplify check-in by only requiring golfers to register with a starter on the first tee.
Le Golf National will also open E-Commerce channels allowing customers to purchase pro shop goods online, even when the pro shop is closed. The company plans to invest the money saved from automation into improving and maintaining course grounds.
General Manager of Le Golf National, Paul Armitage, commented, “It’s always a big move to move your business technologically, so it’s nice to find forward-thinking people and we look forward to building our businesses together with Chronogolf”, he added “We looked at all the options on the market and we believe we have chosen the best product for our needs.”
Of the recent signing Guillaume Jacquet, Co-Founder and CEO of Chronogolf, stated, “We were very pleased to see this partnership come to fruition, we see a lot of synergy between our software solution and the needs of Le Golf National” he added, “We look forward to fostering this relationship and working closely together.”
