In addition to league and event play, our chapter offers Pop-Up Golf where registered members can easily find other Pop-Up Golfers which whom to play a round of golf through the Golf Genius tool. If you have a handicap, it is helpful to your fellow Pop-Up Golfers to enter your handicap index and/or your GHIN number (this is an 8-digit number) when you register for Pop-Up Golf.

 

To engage with other Pop-Up Golfers

Secure a tee time and go to the Pop-Up Golf portal page (https://www.golfgenius.com/pages/4605805) where you can find players who may be available for your tee time.

 

Let’s say you have a tee time at Pebble Creek and want to find 3 other players to join you. At the Pop-Up portal page, click on Player Info (circled in red on the picture on the left). This will bring up a list of all Pop-Up Golf players (like the lower of the two graphics).

 

If you wish to send out a blanket invitation to all Pop-Up Golfers, look at the graphic below showing the Players listing and locate the circled “Check all” and “Email” control buttons. First, select the “Check all” which will place a checkmark next to every name on the roster. Next, select Email and a window will appear for you to enter your invitation.

 

But you may also choose specific golfers to invite. The player list appears initially in alphabetical order. You can click on the column heading titled “H.I.” to sort by this category which results in reordering the players by their reported handicap indices.

 

You could check all the members that have a handicap index above or below a level of your choosing or individually select those with whom you’d like to play. You determine how many and to whom you want to extend an invitation to play. Once you’ve selected the members to invite, click the teal email button at the top right (circled in read with the number 2 by it) of the page listing the players, which brings up an email window.

The email

For the email Subject line, we suggest you list the date, tee time, and the golf course. Add your message which should include the number of slots you want to fill, your email, and cell phone number. Click send. The email sent will identify you as the source of the message by providing an email reply-to field in the header. As you get responses, let each respondent know if they have secured a spot to join you.
