(SARASOTA, Fla.) \u2013 AM GOLF<\/a> has named industry veteran Kevin Carpenter as U.S. Managing Director to expand beyond the golf technology company\u2019s dominance in Europe.<\/p>\n

Overseeing operations from Sarasota, Fla., Carpenter leads a team focused on growing usage of AM GOLF\u2019s one-stop, all-inclusive app for golfers, and affordable, robust management software for golf courses and clubs, and other golf businesses.\u00a0 Each product is surgically designed to effortlessly manage all aspects of professional and personal golf lives.<\/p>\n

\"AM<\/p>\n

A 25-year golf industry veteran in the golf technology space, Carpenter will leverage his extensive relationships with golf property owners and operators, and other industry leaders, to get AM GOLF\u2019s differentiated solutions in their hands and those of golfers they serve.<\/p>\n

The lineup of offerings:<\/p>\n

Golfers \u2013 A single-destination app that manages players\u2019 official handicaps; books tee times; accesses and registers them for newfound golf tournaments near and wide; communicates with golf buddies and initiates friendships with like-minded golfers; catalogs and tracks skills improvements, scores and wages; buys and sells golf merchandise; and so much more.Golf Course and Club Operators \u2013 Management software that economically and simply powers their businesses intuitively and robustly and without unnecessary bells and whistles of larger providers, squarely fitting foundational needs without requiring toggling between screens due to countless integrations and plug-ins.Golf Organizations \u2013 Simple, in-app tools which manage small to large golf association, federation, tour and similar governing body membership programs, including official handicaps and events, geared to build communities among their members, partners and related constituencies.Other Golf Businesses \u2013 A user base of high-avidity, obsessed golfers allows golf product manufacturers and service providers, including golf travel companies, to highlight and sell their offerings in-app.<\/p>\n

\u201cGolfers and golf business leaders need streamlined ways to do more with less resources expended,\u201d said Carpenter.\u00a0 \u201cThis is where AM GOLF technology and practicality shine, simplifying what unfortunately becomes complex way too often.\u201d<\/p>\n

Popular across 17 European countries, AM GOLF serves 27,000 active users, 35,000 events and 270,000 recorded rounds.\u00a0 Carpenter estimates AM GOLF\u2019s user base is well on its way to one million in 2027.\u00a0 The company is the official supplier of World Handicap System for 14 national golf associations.<\/p>\n

AM GOLF solves nagging problems and annoyances:<\/p>\n

Golfers \u2013 The average player has more than 20 golf apps on his or her phone, most serving only a single function or two containing only partial information desired, thus taking 30 minutes versus 30 seconds to research desired info if even achieved.Golf Course and Club Operators \u2013 The average operation uses six different \/ siloed, outdated, inactionable platforms to manage its business, bloating its infrastructure from the imposition of maneuvering from screen to screen and manually input data, while paying for functions they don\u2019t use.Golf Organizations \u2013 The average membership group is challenged by staying in touch with members 24-7-365 in a meaningful way because there isn\u2019t a single app in the marketplace that broadly tracks and informs all that\u2019s important to golfers.Other Golf Businesses \u2013 The average new, emerging and even established golf product manufacturer and service provider is forced to drain their already insufficient resources by integrating with too many apps, most containing only occasional golfers and consumers.<\/p>\n

Additionally, AM GOLF is an in-demand, outsourced resource for golf companies that don\u2019t have the bandwidth or team to build tech components crucial to their golfer offerings and operating proficiency.<\/p>\n

Carpenter held senior leadership positions with GPS Industries and Club Car, where he advised golf course owner-operators how to incorporate technology to enhance golfers\u2019 experiences. \u00a0He also founded Grateful for Golf, a non-profit that leverages the disciplines of golf to improve lives of at-risk youth.<\/p>\n
