Changing the date is quick. Telling people is on you, because Redswing does not send a message when you save.
Who can do this: Admin or Editor. Time: about 5 minutes.
Steps
- Open Event settings, then Event details.
- Pick the new Event date and, if needed, a new Start time.
- If your Registration closes date is now after the event, move it earlier. Redswing will not save a close date after the event date.
- Tap Save event details.
- Open your event page in a private window and check the new date shows.
- Tell your golfers (below).
Tell your golfers
- Open Messages.
- Use Emails to write to everyone. Use Texts only for golfers who agreed to texts. Redswing sends texts only to golfers who opted in.
- Say the new date, the start time, check-in time and where to park.
If you already made pairings
- Shotgun: starting holes stay as they are.
- Wave or tee times: the times were worked out from the old start time. If no scores have been entered, make the pairings again (this replaces your hand edits), then reprint.
- Reprint tee sheets, cart signs and scorecards. See Print the tee sheet, cart signs and scorecards.
What does not change
- Your event link and QR code stay the same.
- Golfers keep their spot and what they paid. For refunds, see Postponing or cancelling an event.
