Boxgroove Forms Alliance With ForeTees

October 13, 2011   |   Category: BusinessBoxgroove Forms Alliance With ForeTees Bellevue, Wash. (October 12, 2011) - Boxgroove (www.boxgroove.com), an inventive, reliable online network offering golfers the opportunity to play private golf courses, announces an alliance with ForeTees, the leading provider of online reservation systems to private clubs throughout the country. Clubs using ForeTees now will be able to use Boxgroove's reciprocal functionality from within the ForeTees application.

"Having the opportunity to work with ForeTees, the leader in the private-club space for reservation software, is a privilege," said McRedmond Morelli, founder and CEO of Boxgroove. "Clubs using ForeTees will be able to automate reciprocity and add even more value for their members and the golfers who are part of the Boxgroove network."

Boxgroove's customizable reciprocal-based software soon will be integrated into the ForeTees product offering, enabling each ForeTees client club to configure its reciprocal network from one application and tailor it to fit the club's needs. All Boxgroove components will be accessed through the ForeTees system at each club. Among the benefits clubs can derive from the combined options are membership retention and satisfaction, incremental revenue and gaining new members.

"It is exciting that two pioneering companies are working together to bring the best products to the private-club space to help improve their business and member needs," said Jock Olson, PGA Master Professional and vice president of new business development for ForeTees. "Boxgroove is a powerful tool for the PGA Professional to better service club members, and, combined with ForeTees, presents an outstanding new opportunity for private clubs." Olson, the 2002 PGA Golf Professional of the Year, prior to joining ForeTees was head golf professional for 15 years at Interlachen Country Club in Minneapolis.
