For golf professionals
Software for golf professionals: the sheet, the shop and the events desk
Tee times, check-in, the register, lessons, the member-guest and the Tuesday league on one system — every fee on the member's account and every score off the USGA's numbers.
The job
What does a head golf professional need from club software?
The head professional runs the part of the club members care about most. On a Saturday that means the tee sheet and the starter, a shop full of members and guests, a lesson book, the leagues, the club championship and the member-guest — usually with a small staff and a phone that doesn't stop ringing.
Most golf shops do it across several systems: a tee-time product, a retail point of sale, a tournament tool, a handicap lookup and a spreadsheet for the member-guest. Every fee rung in the shop has to reach member billing somehow, and every event field gets rebuilt from scratch.
Software for golf professionals should put the sheet, the shop and the events desk on one screen, tied to the same member account. That's what Bubs does: a check-in charges the cart fee, a sale lands on the statement, and a member-guest entry is a registration with its own fee, field and tee times.
What you get
Everything the golf shop runs, in one place
Built around a private club's golf operation, and working from the same member records as the rest of the club.
A tee sheet that enforces the policy
Booking windows by member class, weighted lotteries, standing times, blocks for leagues and events, and a waitlist that fills open times.
Guests and fees, handled
Guest limits per member, month and season, with guest and cart fees charged to the host at check-in under the club's rules.
A pro shop that knows its stock
Products with sizes and colors, purchase orders, receiving and counts, sold from the same register as the grill and charged to the account.
The lesson book
Each professional publishes availability and lesson types, and members book lessons from the club app.
Tournaments and leagues
Member-guests, club championships, match play brackets and weekly leagues, with registration, entry fees and live scoring.
Pace of play
Every group's time on every hole against the club's target, so the ranger goes to the group with the open hole in front of it.
Events
The member-guest, from the entry form to the shootout
Teams register and pay in the member app. The field fills, a waitlist forms behind it, and the event blocks its own tee times on the sheet. Flights, pairings and a flighted round robin are set up once, not rebuilt in a spreadsheet the night before.
On the course, groups score on their phones. Strokes come from each player's course handicap, supplied by the USGA for the tees they play; matches settle as cards come in, and the leaderboard is up to date when the last group walks off. The side games and the Saturday game score the same way.
- Registration, entry fees and waitlists in the app
- Flighted round robins, brackets and points games
- Live scoring and leaderboards
- Official USGA partner — players post scores to the USGA

FAQ
Questions from golf professionals
Can the shop book members who don't use the app?
Yes. The shop books from its own view of the tee sheet, under the same rules the app applies, and one member can book a whole group including partners who never download anything.
Does check-in charge fees automatically?
Yes. Cart and guest fees follow the club's rules and go on the host member's account when the group is checked in, so they appear on the statement without anyone keying them.
How are handicaps handled?
Bubs is an official USGA partner. Handicap Index®, Course Rating™ and Slope Rating® come from the USGA, course handicaps come from the USGA for the tees each player chooses, and players post their scores to the USGA.
Can members book lessons?
Yes. Each professional publishes availability and lesson types, and members book from the club app.
Does the pro shop register handle inventory?
Yes. Products carry sizes, colors, cost and vendor; purchase orders, receiving and stock counts keep inventory accurate, and every sale can be charged to the member account.
