Rich is the founder of GolfSigma and passionate about serving our customer the golfer. We launched in March 09 and are focused on one thing and that is Tee Time search. Remaining neutral to the golf world and displaying all tee times, discount and long range and international tee times. The goal is to be “The Sum of All Golf”. I can be reached at news@golfsigma.com
Speed Kills
Really what I mean is speed kills the amount of time you will have to wait for the return of search results from GolfSigma for a tee time! We have focused our efforts for the past month on fine tuning how quickly we can return valid tee time inventory and feel we are the best we have ever been. Did I say perfect, no, but it is so very impressive to see 3000 or more tee times returned for a large golf area in just a few seconds. And just as important, the returned tee times are not “stale” and will take you to a current available tee time almost all the time.
Ahead of us this week; back to the site to clean up some items that we broke along the way, then off to some new and exciting features and the addition of over 1200 courses with extended range tee times. More to come…..
The latest at GolfSigma.
As you all know we are in fact a search engine for your next tee time. But a search engine without all the information or old data is not one that is going to be too popular for too long. We have taken a step back and decided that we were not happy with some of the results that were we obtaining, for various reasons. You will notice an immediate change in the data that is returned for a tee time search. Faster by a factor of 15 and many more tee times will populate the search results. We have made countless changes to our system both software wise and hardware to speed up the entire process because our tee time inventory is growing so rapidly. We have added processing power and load balancing to handle the additional server load both on the user side our and production side, providing our user with a faster and more comprehensive search than ever before.
So what is next?
Now that we have concentrated on getting current tee time’s inventory and as many tee times as possible for our current search partners, we are turning our focus to Search. What good is it if we have the most comprehensive and largest amount of inventory of tee times and the user cannot find what they are looking for? We are going to make it easier and faster to find the tee time search results that our users are looking for, as simple as that. Guaranteed, it will be unlike anything you have seen in the golf industry to date. Tearing down the borders of our current tee time search algorithms will have many benefits for our users and advertisers both. And who knows, with the removal of these borders, you may see the first glimpse of an international tee time search engine.
Beyond this?
Ummm. I could ramble on here, but very high on the list, is a way to connect people who want to reach our golfers. More to come.
Always happening.
It will be a never ending process to add inventory / golf courses. So don’t ever think that we are done adding courses to search for tee times. The goal – The Sum of all Golf!
