Day 128 - Very Intelligent Golf

Morning spent doing errands and then to Burhill for lunchtime. First job was to assist a member with PayPal problems and then I met with Jamie, the head man at Intelligent Golf. He had spent the previous hour and a half in discussion with BGL about some of the issues that need resolving: basically, the Club is running two separate systems (IG for the Golf and ESP for the membership/catering side of things) and that is never a good place to be - just think about the fact that members' dates of birth need to be kept in both....

Without a link being built between the two, members stand no chance of tracking their MDC card spend on IG and the Club stands no chance of keeping members' email addresses up to date in ESP.  Watch this space... but it won't be quick!

Rather than sit down with Jamie, I opted instead to play a 9 hole round with him: and what a great decision! The Old Course was quiet (and its greens quick!) so we meandered through the front half, chatting on the way. Early on, we discovered that we were both Tesla aficionados so the conversation flowed easily. I shared with him some of the ways that we are using IG ("you guys are pushing the limits!") and he talked through some of their ideas for the future.  I hope that we can work closely together to the benefit of both.

A quick trip to a possible wedding venue for 2016 (that's for my daughter, not us!) and then back to Burhill for a Club Committee Meeting. The first with the new acting General Manager, so it took a bit longer than usual, but the discussion was good and I think we all agreed that it was a step in the right direction.
