Note for Coaches: the more information you provide about yourself the more attractive your profile will be for potential clients.
About me / Golf academy / Coach Groups
In the About me section you can find the “Academy” / “Groups” subsections. These create the possibility for you to connect with your golf academy or specific coach groups. This feature will allow your clients to find you more easily.
Academy: Academy is usually connected to your main venue (You can set it up in “Profile” / “Contacts”). All you have to do is just write down the name of your academy and click on the “save” button”.
Groups: Groups are not connected to your venue, because coaches create them by themselves. Gryyny automatically connects trainers, which have inserted the keywords in the search-bar titled “Groups”. All you need to do is insert the name of the group and click on the “save” button.
Note In order for coaches to be connected, the inserted keywords need to be identical. F.e. if you and at least one other coach insert the “TPI certified” keyword, Gryyny will create a hyperlink on both profiles. Once a golfer clicks this hyperlink Gryyny will display both profiles.
