Description

  The present invention relates to a golf reservation support system using the Internet, and more particularly to a pair golf reservation support system that provides a service for establishing pair golfers as a set of parties.

  In general, those who wish to play at a golf course have to gather their own friends to form a party (usually consisting of four players) and make a reservation at the desired golf course. However, there are individual needs for applying alone, such as when there are no golf companions, or even if they do not gather, or there are companions but sometimes they want to compete with each other with the same level of ability.

  On the other hand, for pair golfers such as couples, parents and children, friends, lovers, etc., there is a unique need for a pair golfer who wants to enjoy golf together at a nearby golf course that is convenient for transportation.

  In response to these needs, there is no problem if the golf course desired by the individual accepts the application alone. However, in the case of a golf course that does not accept such a need, there is no choice but to give up playing.

For specific needs of a pair golfer, a nearby golf course may be accepted only on weekdays, but holidays and holidays are often difficult. For that reason, on holidays and holidays, for example, it was necessary to travel to a far golf course that took more than 2 hours one way.
In other words, the biggest problem for pair golfers who usually play golf with two people is that they cannot make a golf course reservation with two people on a holiday during the spring / autumn season.
Western golf courses can be reserved by two people, but golf courses near the Tokyo metropolitan area in Japan can only accept three or more people.
Under such circumstances, there is no choice but to go to a golf course where two people can make a reservation while paying high high-speed tolls and worrying about traffic congestion over two hours.

In recent years, a system has been proposed in which a user can make an application for playing alone at a golf course using the Internet (see Patent Document 1). This is because when a reservation entry is made from a golf course website, a person who has played at the same party in the past as the reservation person is selected (searched) from the member database of the golf course, and the selected member is automatically selected. This is a system in which a party is organized by persons who respond to a guide by sending a guide mail.
This has the merit that even one person can apply and the players can play with each other.

However, although this system is certainly suitable for one-person applications, it has the disadvantage that it is not suitable for pair golfers. This is because even if two people apply, there is a risk that they will be distributed to different parties.
In addition, even if you apply for the same group of two people in a group of four people, there is a risk that it will be a combination of a pair with one or two people with one applicant. This is not a preferable combination.
