My partner and I own Non - Amateur golf in South Africa and have registered it world wide as IGT (International Golf Tournaments). Now, NA golf is a swear word in RSA as we are stirring up the masses and taking people out of their boxes....
Some history....
You have traditionally SAGA - South African Amateur Golf Asc and the PGA - Prof Golf Asc and since 2003 my partner registered SANAG - SA Non amateur golf - this is where you can play for money of your club handicap....
Controvertial....YES!
This means that golfers in RSA have a CHOICE, they can affiliate to SAGA (if they want.....that is if they still want to play league or provincial golf) or they can affiliate to SANAG. Naturally, SAGA hate us and are fighting us hand and foot....and teeth! We are back (in terms of golfing) to the days when Danie Craven fought for amateur status within the rugby ranks! Keep our South Africans in their BOXES!
What does NA golf mean?
It means that any golfer in RSA who belongs to a club and has an official handicap may join The Players Tour and play tournament golf and win any amount of cash that is set up as prize money. Our website explains everything and you enter tournaments on the web as well. We do all tournaments online and therefore no prize givings....you can leave straight after the game and we pay your winnings into your bank account - no danger of walking around with cash on hand and no drinking and driving. Our tournaments are marshalled and NO cheating is tolerated. Currently we only have tournaments in Gauteng on Tuesdays at Blue Valley Golf Estate and Observatory.
We have A's, NA's and PGA members competing on our tour. A's can only win vouchers or prizes as prescribed by the Amateur Rules and all other players win cash! Our avg winning score is 38 Stab points (70 nett) and we alternate Gross and Stab formats in our tournaments.
My partner, Cois du Plooy, is currently negotiating with 2 investors abroad to take the concept globally.....this is mainly because of the "in the box thinking" of South Afrcans and the restraint of trade that SAGA imposes on their members.
I am a NA South African golfer and proud of it!
Please help me get RSA golfers out of their imposed BOXES!
Thnks for a great show!

Long Range Systems supplies on-site communication systems for the hospitality industry. You may have seen one of our products, the Coaster Call Buzzer System at Kauai outlets nationwide. Once you have placed your order at the counter you are provided with a buzzer in the shape of a drinks coaster. The buzzer lets the customer know that their order is ready by vibrating and lighting up. This product has enjoyed great reviews from current clients as it has remarkably increased the operational efficiency of their fast food operations.

Our latest and most exciting product is the Informant System. The world's first Electronic Comment Card that monitors customer/client feedback in real-time by providing detailed marketing research daily. This is a product that is not limited to the hospitality industry in that it's applications are relevant to any industry which values feedback from customers and clients and/or wishes to communicate with their clients/consumers with regard to providing them with various types of information. Our clients provide us with their marketing objectives and fields of information they require, we then construct a survey on our online site. The completed survey is uploaded to a base which holds the Electronic Comment Cards. The base and trays are located at the client and connected through an ADSL or analog phone line. The easy to use functionality of the comment card allows for a survey of up to 15-20 questions to be completed in approximately 1 minute depending on the type of questions asked. Up to 4 surveys can be loaded onto a comment card. Longer surveys of up to 40 questions per survey can be loaded onto the trays. Once surveys have been conducted the trays are placed back on the base and with the simple press of a button the inputted data is sent to our server and processed into excel and PDF reports which are emailed to our client the following day. The pin prompt function allows for employees or survey conductors to be tracked and cross-sectioned in By-Employee Reports that detail responses to questions about service and other performance indicators for the individual.

One of the biggest opportunities that the Informant System presents is it's use as an integrated marketing tool. The on-screen prompts not only allow the consumer to communicate with your company through survey questions but also allows the brand or company to communicate with and inform the consumer. Information about specials, competitions and promotions and eventual call to action through sms competition or drive to website are all made possible by communicating to the consumer through on-screen prompts.

The applications of the Informant System and the opportunities it presents for companies and brands from a marketing perspective are vast. Communicating with your target market and identifying their wants and needs is important in any industry. The Informant System will provide this marketing information in real-time in the most accurate, detailed and efficient format available.
