Player Pairings

Remember, success must be measured.  Track the number of player registrations against your goal.

If you use the Golf Digest Planner, the system will automatically track online registrations. In addition, you can add players that register offline so you have everyone in a single database.

When you arrive at the course on event day, you should have two types of lists.

The first is called a pairings list.  The pairings list organizes all the golfers according to hole number.  This list is helpful for volunteers to direct golfers to their designated hole at registration. 

The second list is the alpha list.  The alpha list should be given to the golf course prior to event day.  The golf course will use the alpha list at the bag drop to make sure each golfer’s bag is put on the correct golf cart.  The alpha list can also be used at registration to check in golfers.

Samples of these lists are included below.

If you use the Golf Digest Planner, the system will automatically create these lists and will automatically send an e-mail to each golfer with their hole assignment in advance.
