As a result, the clerical work can be reduced and the member himself / herself can act as a key to manage the reservation status and the like on the server. Further, the server can compete at a plurality of golf courses in response to a request from the terminal device. The entry information of is transmitted to the terminal device, and in response to the designation of one of the golf courses from the terminal device, the plurality of start times of the competition held at the golf course and the reservation status at that time are transmitted. Then, when the vacant time is designated and the reservation application is made, the name of the reservation applicant is registered at that time.

This makes it easy for a member to apply for participation in a desired golf course competition from the terminal device.

Further, in response to a request from the terminal device for detailed information on the golf course, the server transmits information including at least the course outline and the charge of the golf course.

Therefore, the participant can easily know the details of the golf course simply by operating the terminal device.

Further, the server changes the name of the registered applicant in response to the request for change from the terminal device.

As a result, the member can make changes such as correction of the applicant. Further, the server creates a participant list and transmits it to the terminal device in response to the reservation application from the terminal device.

As a result, the member who made the reservation application can download the participant list.

After the competition is completed, the result list of all the participants in the competition is input to the server, and the server transmits the result information including the results of the participants.

Therefore, the competition participant can know his or her own performance in the competition by using the terminal device at home or the like.

Furthermore, in response to the competition participant paying the fee to the server administrator, the deposit information is registered in the server, and a deposit confirmation mail is transmitted to the terminal device.

Therefore, the server administrator is freed from the complicated paperwork for notifying the depositing process and the completion of the depositing to the participants.
