CHICAGO, IL. – Jan. 13, 2005 – EZLinks has announced that the Louisiana Golf Association is now utilizing the EZLinks Handicap Network for score management and handicap computation at their 85 golf clubs throughout the State of Louisiana. This installation provides the LGA with a reliable, simplified and easy-to-use posting process for the 15,000 golfers who maintain their handicaps with the LGA.
“We’re excited to have EZLinks as our new handicapping services partner”, said LGA Executive Director Carr McCalla. “As a result of our relationship with EZLinks, we installed new hardware with touch-screen monitors in all of our LGA Handicap Network clubs, and EZLinks has gone beyond the call of duty in helping facilitate that installation. The handicapping and tournament software is leading edge. We’re so pleased to be able to partner with EZLinks. We’re hearing nothing but positive comments from our clubs as they implement the new system.”
“We are thrilled to be selected as the handicap system provider for the Louisiana Golf Association”, remarked Andrew Weeks, EZLinks Chief Executive Officer. “The LGA staff has done a terrific job implementing the EZLinks Handicap Network and this will ensure a positive experience for their members.”
