Ask your Golf Group a Question when they RSVP

Several TeeTimeHelper admins e-mailed us asking how to add a custom question to their members when they RSVP.

For example, it may be helpful to know if your members are  walking or riding. Or perhaps you would like to know if they are staying for lunch.

We now have the solution - you can add Custom Questions and Answer Choices to your event. On the event creation page click on "Add a Custom Question" and you will be presented with the following fields:

You specify the question and answers your members can select

Your questions and answers are presented to your users in a drop down display - they must select one of your answer choices to RSVP yes for the event.

Your members see this dropdown when they RSVP



On the event status page you will see the answers next to each golfer in parenthesis:


Your status page indicates the answers selected



Custom Question and Answer Choices Tips



1. Be brief! Short questions and short answers are best. There is limited space to display the answer for each members so a one or two word answer is desirable.

2. Avoid Yes/No Questions. It's much easier to interpret the answer on the status page as "Walking" instead of "Yes"

3. The Question and Answer Choices are editable at any time, but please avoid changing the question or answer choices. The members who already responded will keep their original choice and have it displayed, so changing the question or answers can cause confusion.

As always, send us a message if you have any questions!

All Your TeeTimeHelper Events in One Place

One of our best features is the "Events" page. Every e-mail you receive from TeeTimeHelper not only contains a link to the specific event but also a button for all your events.

In fact, it's just a general link which will show your events:

https://www.TeeTimeHelper.com/events


And all your events will be listed. If your events are not shown then you are using a different web browser than viewing our previous events.

We hope this will be a useful feature for you.

Allow RSVPs to Events without a Private E-Mail Invite from TeeTimeHelper



Our programmers have gone crazy and you're going to love this one!

As an option, we now provide you a link  to allow anyone to RSVP for your event. (No advance e-mail invite needs to be entered in our system)




Here's how it works:

1) As usual you organize a golf event and submit it

2) Upon event submission you will also get a event invite link

3) Click on an app icon or copy and paste this link in social media, on web pages, in blogs, or to use in your own e-mails. You can promote it anywhere you want!

4) When someone clicks on the link they can RSVP right away - no e-mail invite needed

After someone RSVP's they are listed in our system as if they were invited via a TeeTimeHelper e-mail. They will receive event messages, reminders and have access to the chat room.


Let us know what you think!

Real-Time Chat for Your Golf Group with TeeTimeHelper


Chat With Your Golf Group

TeeTimeHelper includes a built-in chat feature so your group can easily communicate about each event.

Real-Time Messages

Chat messages are now delivered in real time to all members of the event.

If a member has the TeeTimeHelper app installed, the message is delivered instantly as a push notification. If they don’t have the app, the message is sent via email. In both cases, the message appears directly in the notification or email so members can read it immediately.

This makes it easy for your group to stay informed about:

  • Last-minute changes

  • Weather updates

  • Tee time adjustments

  • General conversation about the event

Control Your Notifications

Members have full control over whether they receive chat messages.

  • RSVP “No” for an event to stop receiving chat messages for that event.

  • Update your global notification settings to disable chat messages entirely if you prefer not to receive them.

This ensures everyone receives the updates they want—without unnecessary notifications.

Silky Oak Country Club, Banchang Thailand

Silky Oak is one of a trio of golf courses 45 minutes outside of Pattaya, Thailand. St Andrews 2000 and Green Valley share the same clubhouse and facilities.

This is a smart move in that they can gain efficiency staff the clubhouse and locker rooms to serve more golfers. The downside is that the driving range is a long cart ride and the clubhouse is not near the 1st or 18th hole.

Since this is a cart course - you'd be insane to walk it as it can be very hot the distances between the holes/clubhouse/driving range is acceptable. The caddy is driving your cart so you need not worry about where you are going.

Overall the Silky Oak layout is a fun day out. There are a few short par threes. But some of the holes have some heft to them, especially after it rained and you're not getting much roll. Hole 5 has a forced carry off the tee, from the tips it is approximately 210 yards. We played from the whites so it was about 180 yards.

The green looked like they had a disease on many of them, and they were slower compared to other courses near Pattaya. However, they were playable and overall the pace was consistent.

Below are some pictures of Silky Oak Country Club, Banchang
