MPOWER GOLF
The team at MPower Golf are
looking forward to the GMA national
conference in October. As the event
rapidly approaches our account
managers will be in touch to organise
catch ups at our stand on our product
range across MPower Golf and also
to introduce our reporting, analytics
& business intelligence platform -
MPower BI.
As a major partner of GMA we
have been pleased to provide the
members with a leaderboard on the
Genesis Golf Link Cup. The Genesis
Golf Link Cup has now over 101,000
registered players which represents
26% of all club golfers.
We will be inviting the top 2 GMA
members on the leaderboard to
attend the Genesis Golf Link Cup
national final in Sydney, playing at
NSW Golf Club and attending the
Emirates Australian Open. The top 10
for GMA at the time of submitting this

Greater governance can be achieved
through the automation of business
processes. As an example we see
many clubs that still need to manually
process point of sale transactions
through to the general ledger. This
not only creates opportunities for
errors and time consuming journal
transactions but also the opportunity
to drill down into the transactional
data to analyse member behaviour is
minimised.
As a club manager you do not always
know the questions you need to ask
of your data. By using a business
intelligence platform like MPower BI,
you can visualise your data and start
to analyse the information across
product lines, outlets and importantly
- member behaviour. From a
hospitality or retail perspective you
can start to ask the data:
• What products are performing
well and which ones aren’t;
make data driven decisions to boost
operational performance and drive
new revenue opportunities. We will
be shortly releasing some information
on our business intelligence platform
and it will be a key demonstration
piece for us at the conference.
We have recently launched a new
module to our GolfBox Tournament
solution that is used in Australia by
Golf Australia, PGA of Australia, Golf
NSW, Golf Victoria and a number
of clubs. We have released a player
live scoring module which allows
players to enter the score of their
group in real-time, automatically
populating on a live leaderboard. The
system has been designed for mobile
devices, players are sent a link via
SMS or email with their score code
to record hole by hole results. The
live scoring system takes the gross
scores and seamlessly populates the
live leaderboard with the net result
depending on the competition of the
day.
GolfBox Tournament requires no
installation by the player to take
advantage of the live scoring module.
The Tournament platform has been
designed to be an out of the box
solution, players simply tap on a link
using any browser and they are good
to start scoring.
We will be using the GolfBox system
and live scoring at the conference
golf events, which will allow you to
keep track of the live results for the
national championships as well.
