TeeTimeHelper Introduces Real‑Time RSVP Status

Have you ever sent out a tee‑time invite only to spend the next few hours refreshing your screen, wondering who has committed?

Those days are over.

Today we’re excited to roll out Real‑Time RSVP Status for TeeTimeHelper events.

What’s New?

• Live Updates: As soon as a golfer taps Yes, No, or Waitlist, every admin and member currently viewing the event sees the response instantly—no page refresh required.

• Blinking Green Highlight: New “Yes” responses appear with a green blink for up to ten seconds so they stand out in the roster. After the blink, the name settles into the standard confirmed style.

• Group Awareness: Late‑deciders can see spots filling up in real time and jump in before it’s too late.

Why It Matters

• Faster Foursomes: Organizers know immediately when they have a complete group and can book additional tee‑times or close registration without delay.

• Transparency: Everyone watching the event sees the same information at the same time—no more hidden spots or double bookings.

• Engagement: The gentle green blink adds a touch of excitement and encourages players to RSVP sooner rather than later.

How to Use It

1. Create or open any event in TeeTimeHelper.

2. Stay on the event page.

3. Ask a friend to RSVP. Watch their name pop up and flash green.

That’s it. No settings to toggle—real‑time status is on by default for every account.

Stay tuned, and let us know what you think. As always, let us know your feedback. See you on the first tee!

Understanding the 'Hide All Invitees' Setting: Why Members Can’t Fill Out Their Tee Times with Other Players

Understanding the “Hide All Invitees” Setting: Why Members Can’t Add Players to Tee Times

TeeTimeHelper gives admins powerful tools to manage privacy and visibility for golf event RSVPs. One of these tools is the “Hide All Invitees” and “Show Only Attendees”, which controls how much of the guest list is visible to members.

While this feature can be useful for private events or simplified coordination, it does affect one key function: the ability for members to add players to their tee time.

How It Normally Works

In most events, when a member RSVPs and selects a tee time, they’re able to add more players to their group. This is done by choosing from a dropdown list of invited members—making it easy to coordinate with friends, regular partners, or new faces in the group.

This system relies on visibility of the full list of invitees.

What Happens When “Hide All Invitees” or "Show Only Attendees" Is Enabled

When an admin selects either option:

• The “Add Player” function is disabled because members don’t have the list of invitees to select from.

Summary of the Impact

• ✅ Members can RSVP and select a tee time.

• 🚫 Members cannot add players to their tee time.

• 🔧 Admins retain full control and can manage tee times manually if needed.

Admin Tip

If your event encourages self-organized groups or filling out foursomes, we recommend leaving this setting off to allow members to see each other and use the player dropdown menu. But for events where privacy is key or where the admin prefers to handle tee times, enabling “Hide All Invitees” is a solid choice.

New Invite List Privacy Controls in TeeTimeHelper

 

Introducing New Invite List Privacy Controls in TeeTimeHelper

We’re excited to introduce a new feature in TeeTimeHelper that gives golf event organizers more control over their invite lists. With our latest update, admins can now choose how much of the invite list is visible to invitees, ensuring greater flexibility and privacy.

Enhanced Privacy Settings for Invite Lists

Previously, all invitees could see who else was invited to an event. Now, admins have three visibility options:

1. Show All Invitees – All invited players can see who else has been invited.

2. Show Only Those Who Have RSVP’d – Players can only see invitees who have confirmed their participation.

3. Hide All Invitees – Invitees will not see the invite list at all.

Regardless of the selected visibility setting, all admins for the group can see the full invite list at all times. This ensures that organizers maintain full oversight of the event.

Impact on Tee Time Selection

When the Show All Invitees option is enabled, your event may be eligible for a feature that allows players to fill out their chosen tee times with other members from a pull-down menu. However, if an admin chooses to partially or fully hide the invite list, this option will be disabled to maintain privacy.

Why This Matters

This feature is perfect for:

• Private groups that prefer to keep their invite list confidential.

• Events where RSVPs should influence visibility.

• Admins who want full control over how invitees interact with each other before the event.

With these new RSVP privacy controls, TeeTimeHelper continues to improve the way golf groups organize and manage their tee times. Try it out in your next event and let us know what you think!
