Online Appointment-Scheduling Software Helping Golf Instructors 'Swing' Into Spring

March 26, 2010 - PRLog -- Scottsdale, Ariz. –Golf centers, instructors and country clubs nationwide are spending less time booking lessons and more time with their students this spring thanks to online appointment-scheduling software.

Appointment-Plus (http://www.appointment-plus.com/golf_lessons_system.php), a leader in appointment-scheduling software, gives golf instructors the tools they need to automate their appointment-setting procedures.  The online scheduler offers such functions as secure client self-scheduling; automated e-mail and text reminders; online payment options; and robust report-generating capabilities.

Because it’s a Web-based application, Appointment-Plus does not require any software installation or costly computer hardware. Additionally, it’s accessible from any Internet connection.

“Scheduling golf lessons shouldn’t be a time-consuming task,” says Jeff Fleming, director of marketing at StormSource Software, the developer of Appointment-Plus. “Appointment-Plus helps instructors and staff fine-tune their appointment-scheduling procedures so they can spend more time on the greens with their clients.”

John Mason, PGA director of instruction at JC Golf School at Encinitas Ranch Golf Course in Encinitas, Calif., and his instructors use Appointment-Plus to better manage their clients’ lessons and information. Relying on a simple appointment book prior to using the software, he says that all of his clients now schedule their own appointments online, saving many hours and hundreds of dollars each week.

"We use Appointment-Plus for on-line booking of golf lessons and classes,” he says. “It works great.”
