"These courses represent the increasing acceptance of how UpLink is a valuable business tool that can contribute to the profitability of their course," states Clayton A. Reed, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Sales for UpLink. "The following are ways in which courses can experience significant improvement on their bottom line while enhancing customer service:
- AdSmart, a sponsorship program that allows courses to approach local business in purchasing advertising space on the Color Caddy's;
- Tournament management, that provides a more efficient way to enhance the success of tournaments and outings;
- IQLink, that gives courses the ability to control and monitor their fleet."
Mark Seabrook, general manager of Canadian Golf and Country Club, in Ontario, CN and president of the National Golf Course Owners Association, has found that UpLink will bring added value to their program and says, "The combination of UpLink and Vision Perfect tournament management is phenomenal. It was a great experience to see first hand the UpLink system in action at the 2005 NGCOA golf outing. The combination of the leader board and scorecard, and the sponsors on the system, was all a great success." Continues Seabrook, "UpLink will enable us to manage course operations more efficiently, bring added value to the facility, and generate incremental revenue for the course with AdSmart."
