If you find yourself on the fairways of Indian Peaks Golf Course in Lafayette, Colorado, chances are you’ll come across the Indian Peaks Ladies League (IPLL)—a vibrant group of golf-loving women who meet every Wednesday from May through October. What started as a small circle of four to five players has now grown into a tight-knit community of 13 to 15 women, all in their 50s to 70s, who come together not just for the game but for the camaraderie it brings.
With growing numbers came growing pains. At first, organising weekly games was easy. A quick chat, a few texts, and they were all set. But as more women joined, one person took on the responsibility of managing signups for the group each week.
This quickly became overwhelming.
👎 Endless group texts – Messages pinging all day, hard to follow, and often repetitive.
👎 Information overload – Important details got buried in the chat.
👎 Confusion over who was playing – Some members confirmed, some dropped out, some changed their minds mid-thread.
👎 Time-consuming admin – The person coordinating had to manually track signups and communicate with the club.
The constant back-and-forth made what should have been a simple signup frustrating and inefficient.
Realising there had to be a better way, one of the members suggested finding an app to streamline the process. After some research, they landed on Quick9—and it proved to be exactly what they needed.
How Quick9 Simplified Signups:
1. Private IPLL Group – The IPLL Wednesday Sign-Up List was set up as a group in Quick9, and all the ladies were invited to join.
2. Weekly Event Setup – Each Wednesday’s league event is created in the app as a “rollup” with any relevant notes.
3. Simple Sign-Ups – Players just tap “Join Game” if they want to be included that week. If they’re unavailable or arranging a separate foursome, they simply do nothing—no unnecessary messages or replies.
4. Easy Coordination with the Club – When it’s time to submit names, the organiser checks Quick9 to see who’s signed up and arranges the groups with the club.
The rollup feature was key for the IPLL. Other apps didn’t offer this level of flexibility, allowing any number of players to join without predefined groups. Plus, Quick9 worked across Apple and Android, making it easy for all members to get on board.
The difference was instantly noticeable.
✅ No more group text overload – Weekly signups are now centralised in Quick9.
✅ Clear participation tracking – Members can instantly see who’s playing.
✅ No more last-minute confusion – No need to scroll through endless messages.
✅ Less admin for organisers – The process runs itself, saving time.
✅ Smoother coordination with the club – Submitting names is faster and easier.
✅ Better engagement – Comments keep signups interactive and fun.
Now that Quick9 has eliminated the signup chaos for their Wednesday league games, the IPLL ladies plan to use it for their casual rounds throughout the week as well. The goal? Cut down on even more group texts and make every round easier to organise.
For this group, Quick9 has taken the frustration out of planning and put the focus back where it belongs—on playing golf!
