ezLocator and Playbooks for Golf have announced the release of ezPins, a hole location and pin sheet generation product. Based on the industry leading ezLocator software platform, ezPins is offered as a new solution where onsite slope analysis is not desired and value pricing is of importance. With ezPins, golf course superintendents minimize pin placement mistakes and offer more choices to members and players. Golf pros can easily customize the pin sheets with eight different layouts and there is ample opportunity for corporate outing logos and even generating revenue through advertisements.
Playbooks for Golf has been working with ezLocator for over six years, providing field-training aides for the outstanding software platform. Through this relationship, Playbooks and ezLocator worked to develop a process where they could empower superintendents to assist in the setup process, resulting in reduced costs.
“We wanted to bring as much of the power and benefits of ezLocator we could to courses that can’t afford the cost of onsite slope analysis required for ezLocator initially,” Playbooks co-founder Matt Leverich said. “Through our newly developed setup process for ezPins, we are able to significantly reduce price and we never have to visit the course to set them up.”
ezLocator continues to add clients and the use of the slope analysis and stimp features will separate it from the more affordable ezPins product.
“While slope and stimp offer huge benefits to clubs, when you combine the affordable price of ezPins with the multitude of features and benefits from ezLocator, it’s something we envision to be implemented by a large number of courses across the spectrum of facility types,” exLocator founder Jon Schultz said. “It’s very easy to see a return on investment with ezPins through time savings, improved service to golfers and potential advertising revenue from the pin sheets.”
The developers feel that a low setup price of only $1,895 combined with this potential for advertising revenue will be a big hit with daily fee and mid-tier private courses, and clients should be able to recoup the cost through these channels. ezPins also eliminates placement errors and empowers superintendents to provide a different setup every day with ease.
“We think once a customer has purchased ezPins and has experienced the benefits it offers, they will be very interested in selling the slope and stimp features to their ownership or committee,” Schultz said. “We made it easy to upgrade and offer reduced pricing to reflect what they already spent on ezPins.”
ezPins can review historical hole locations and adapt them for wet/dry weather. ezPins includes Tour-quality pin sheets and a mobile app that can generate consistent advertising revenue. Create seven days of pins in under 15 minutes that can adapt for tournament play and special pins if desired.
ezPins utilizes a unique system that eliminates the shortcomings of quadrant or similar systems. No more managing limited manual systems or trying to remember past hole locations sequences. ezPins is a hole location tool that can return an infinite number of hole location configurations with the click of a button.
