Fore! Your Information - December 2009
PCI JANUARY 1st DISCOUNT DEADLINE REMINDER - If your facility requires the use of PCI compliant software, you can save money on your black box server when you purchase it by January 1st for $1,500 (a $500 savings)!

If you aren't sure if the credit card industry's new regulations apply to your facility, please contact your credit card processor immediately. Still wondering if credit card security is something your business should be concerned with? Fore! Reservations recently learned that states are starting to enact laws regarding PCI compliance with Massachusetts being the first; illustrating yet again the importance of these new regulations. For the latest PCI compliance information from Fore! Reservations, you can always visit our credit card security page on the Customer Support Site by clicking here.
A REMINDER REGARDING THIRD-PARTY AFFILIATES - Fore! Reservations has developed an interface for third-party Internet tee time distributors ("TTD") to access our customers tee times. We call this interface the "Affiliate Object". Any TTD getting the support of more than five of our customers can sign an Affiliate Object Agreement. Once the agreement is signed, we will gladly work with the TTD to complete the interface. When the interface is completed and properly tested, the TTD needs to get the Golf Course to sign an Affiliate Approval Form in order to have Fore! Reservations give them access to your tee time inventory. We currently have an Affiliate Object Agreement with several companies. Fore! Reservations, Inc. will not try to specifically promote any specific TTD. Every TTD should be judged on their own merits and not the merits of our interface. We have an interface because at least 5 of our customers requested one be written. Please remember that the decision to utilize a TTD is solely the decision of the golf course and is not endorsed one way or another by Fore! Reservations.
MARKETING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM REGISTRATION CONTINUES - For those courses looking for better marketing solutions than the "same old" newspaper ad, "same old" Yellow Pages spot, and "same old" cookie-cutter programs; Fore! Reservations continues to sign-up courses into its Marketing Assistance Program. 2009 was a challenging year and 2010 could be even more so, so don't expect to get different results from the old expensive ways to market; let us show you how we can help maximize your marketing efforts and take advantage of all the money-making features inside the Fore!
