So what are the keys to a successful mobile strategy?It must be branded for your course to help foster brand loyalty to your club.It must have compelling features that engage your golfer and enhances their experience. If not they will not use it.It must be truly social by leveraging the power of social media and turning your golfers into active referral partners.
