Clubessential Holdings, the leading provider of club membership
management and payment solutions, today announced the formation of
its Golf and Club Technology business unit in conjunction with its
strategic acquisition of BlueGolf, the new industry standard for
tournament registration, management and leaderboard software for
professional, amateur, junior golf programs and public &
private clubs. The new Golf and Club Technology business unit will
operate under the leadership of current Clubessential president,
Scott Strong.
"Our mission has always been to provide best-in-class solutions
that help our clubs and programs recruit, engage, and retain
members for life," said Randy Eckels, CEO of Clubessential
Holdings. "I'm really excited about our ability to now offer what
is rapidly becoming the preferred technology for tournament
programs and golfers with the addition of BlueGolf. Ed Hughes, and
his team, have dedicated the past two decades to building the
premier software platform used by over 30,000 golf tournaments,
most PGA Sections, leading golf associations and tours, and more
than one million registrations every year. We look forward to
working with Ed to rapidly expand the global footprint for the
BlueGolf product offerings."

professional, amateur, and junior tournaments annually including
global leaders in golf such as the PGA TOUR Q School and Monday
Qualifiers, The PGA of Great Britain & Ireland, Northern Texas
PGA, Northern California Golf Association, Brazilian Golf
Confederation, US Am Tour, Junior World Golf Championship, FCG,
Faldo Tour, and the Federation for International
FootGolf. From registration, planning, tournament schedules,
and player messaging to real-time scoring, leaderboards, and hole
locations, BlueGolf covers every aspect of tournament management.
