Wayne, Pennsylvania (PRWEB) August 25, 2011
GolfTripGenius.com announced new ways for golfers to bring more fun and friendly competition to golf trips when they use the GolfTripGenius golf travel platform.
GolfTripGenius.com applies sophisticated yet easy-to-use software to help golfers plan and manage golf trips. The service helps them set up pairings, manage and score tournaments, create trip books, organize trip photos, track expenses and simplify trip logistics.
With the latest enhancements, Golf trip captains can now set up Match of Cards tournaments and Virtual Tournaments to add to the competition on any trip.
Match of cards is a popular format among golf travelers where individuals in different foursomes ?match their cards? after the round to determine the winner of a Nassau match, for example. Oftentimes, these matches are decided as players are leaving the first tee. With GolfTripGenius.com, these sorts of tournaments can even be set up after the round.
Virtual Tournaments is an exciting way for every player to compete individually against every other player ? or a subset of the overall group ? in a hole-by-hole match regardless of whether those players were actually part of the golfer?s foursome. Virtual Tournaments can also be used for all-around events where every pair or foursome competes against every other pair or foursome in match play. In a Virtual Tournament, for example, a group of 16 players in four foursomes could play the best two balls of one foursome against the best two balls of every other foursome in a match-play format.
GolfTripGenius has always made it easy to set up teams for different types of competition. With these latest enhancements, tournaments also can be set up among members of the same team in addition to existing tournament formats between teams.
?Great golf trips are designed to be fun, and these new formats ? which allow every player to compete against everyone else in the group ? really add to the fun,? said Mike Zisman, president of GolfTripGenius.com. ?With match play events, everyone is still in the game, even if they have a few bad holes.?
Golfers who use the GolfTripGenius say they enjoy the ways the service spices up the competition.
?I?ve used GolfTripGenius.com for the past two years, and our groups really like finding new ways to set up different types of tournaments, like one foursome versus all foursomes in match play,? said Jack Waddell of Houston. ?We?re looking forward to these new formats.
?I can?t imagine organizing a golf trip the old way, with spreadsheets and email,? Waddell added.
The new tournament enhancements come standard with the GolfTripGenius.com Genius Edition and are available at GolfTripGenius.com.
Since its release in 2010, GolfTripGenius.com has been used by thousands of golf captains to organize and manage golf trips to scores of U.S. and international destinations. The site offers a free Test Drive that allows golfers to try out GolfTripGenius.com features on an imaginary trip to Genius Island Golf Resort.
