In today’s digital age, staying connected with your golf group is more convenient than ever. While WhatsApp is currently the go-to app for golf coordination, it isn’t without its limitations in managing game planning and organisation. As we like to say at Quick9 – if you were to design a golf group coordination and planning app, you wouldn’t design WhatsApp! That’s where Quick9 comes in. We designed and built a dedicated golf app specifically to streamline golf group organisation and enhance the overall golfing experience.
Here are five key reasons why we believe Quick9 is better than WhatsApp for golf group coordination.
One of the standout features of Quick9 is its focus on game coordination. Unlike WhatsApp, which often becomes cluttered with unrelated messages and notifications, Quick9 provides a distraction-free platform tailored specifically for organising golf games. This means no more missed playing opportunities due to irrelevant chatter or buried messages. Quick9 ensures that the primary focus remains on arranging your next round of golf.
Quick9 keeps game-related conversations limited to those who are actually playing, sparing the rest of the group from annoying and unnecessary notifications and messages. With WhatsApp, it’s not unusual for group members to be inundated with messages about games they’re not participating in. Quick9 solves this problem by creating separate threads for each game, ensuring that only the relevant players are kept in the loop. This targeted approach leads to more efficient communication and less noise.
Managing multiple golf groups and games on WhatsApp often means navigating through numerous group chats, which can be frustrating and time-consuming. Quick9, on the other hand, centralises all game coordination and planning in one place. Whether you’re arranging a friendly match, a rollup, a society event or coordinating with different groups, Quick9 simplifies the process. No more scrolling through endless messages to find important details – everything you need is neatly organised within the app.
Quick9 takes your golf experience to the next level with its scoring, leaderboards, and league functionality. These capabilities not only make tracking group scores and performance easier but also adds a competitive edge to your games. You can instantly see where you stand against your golf buddies, motivating everyone to bring their A game. Gamifying the group golf experience makes it more engaging and fun, something WhatsApp simply doesn’t offer. Instead of juggling both WhatsApp and a separate scoring app, simply download Quick9 for an all-in-one solution!
Quick9 groups can either be kept private, or made public—making Quick9 perfect for open and welcoming golf communities like local, regional, or club groups. Unlike WhatsApp’s exclusive, invite-only groups, Quick9 reduces admin burden by allowing golfers to join public/open groups via a shared code (e.g., on the group or communities’ Instagram or Facebook page). This makes it easier for golfers to discover and join groups, fostering a more inclusive golfing environment.
While WhatsApp serves as a general communication tool, Quick9 is purpose-built for golf group coordination. By switching to Quick9, you can streamline your golf game coordination, reduce unnecessary distractions, and create a more engaging and organised golfing experience for everyone involved. So why settle for less when you can have a platform designed specifically for your golfing needs? Give Quick9 a try and see the difference it makes!
