COLUMBUS, OH — Poststats.com, Inc., future provider of services supporting amateur sports entertainment, successfully transitioned the old CarlSpacklerOpen.com. This included Carl Spackler Open and Golfapalooza golf groups to new Poststats Private Communities. The beta release of Poststats is expected to become available to the public on January 1. The new online company will serve as the main portal to national sports communities created from individual amateurs for many amateur sports.

The first order of business continues to be replacing the old Carl Spackler Open.com services and assume responsibility as a huge golf portal. This includes further development of Poststats.com including a very expanded tournament, outing, league section of the website.

The business has created public communities for St. Louis, Columbus, Virginia Beach, Richmond, Pittsburgh, Warren, Allentown, and Washington. Further public communities will follow as memberships are added.

Weather forecasting has been added to track player, communities, and each golf course. Using requests from tee date entries, the computer will manage and notify golfers of weather changes. Full handicapping has been added to double the golfer handicapping services and includes multiple leaderboards.

An entire golf course section has been created that will host Poststats hole rankings, restrictions, hole handicapping, surveys, websites, architects, age and pricing. The course naming structure has improved with prefixes and suffixes for each. Columbus, Warren, and Pittsburgh golf courses have received a large focus this fall with additional metro areas scheduled this spring.

Other services are available including signing scorecards, tee time filler, and expanded bio.

The search and security capabilities have increased tenfold.  Scorecard, tee time, course survey and new photo entry have been placed in secure environment. The golfer administration has quadrupled in size giving each golfer the opportunity to tailor their golf services. Personal identity has completely reshaped the efficiency of the website to the amateur golfer.

"This is just the tip of the iceberg," says CIO Brian Long. "There is a pile of ideas and structure that still requires implementation. I think everyone should expect changes almost everyday through January."
