COLUMBUS, OH — PostStats LLC, the premier amatuer sports entertainment website, announced today that community and event texting has been incorporated into its family of websites. The enhancement is expected to improve communications between organizers and participants.

"The benefits of this technology for Carl Spackler Open communications is endless," says Brian Long, Vice President of Participant Documents. "The ability to communicate to members and participants quickly, individually, and real-time has value which cannot be quantified."

The texting feature is expected to notify golf trip participants with outstanding balances, weather delays, immediate rule changes, real-time itinerary changes, and important event communications.

"Members are asked to visit their individual profiles and provide a cell phone vendor," said Long. "The vendor information along with cell phone number will allow organizers to send important texts to the entire group."

Designated organizer(s) with a handheld device(s) connected to the Internet can quickly text members or attendees. A webpage with one text field loads quickly as it has no logo or pictures.

The Captains Club reminded everyone the importance of the website as a portal for group information. As the event continues to grow, everyone is asked to update their accounts and contact information.

"The ability to communicate simply to 80 people almost immediately has enormous benefit," says Captains Club member Jason Watson. "Stopping all golfers throughout the golf course collectively and immediately for a pending thunderstorm is a great tool to have on your belt. Communicating a bus departure has been delayed is another large step forward to providing more organized events."

The ‘cell phone carrier’ field is a drop down selection and can be found right next to cell phone number inside your profile. Members can update their online profile by (1) signing into the website, (2) clicking "My Profile" at the top of any page, and (3) clicking on the pencil next to your mailing address or phone number.
