Par for the (Paper) Course: Why Your Golf Club Committee Needs Oyoi

Let’s face it: being on the golf club committee isn't exactly the relaxing pastime you imagined.

You joined to talk tee times and maybe argue about bunker rakes.

Instead, you’re drowning in spreadsheets, missing meeting minutes, and one ancient USB stick ominously labelled “AGM 2016-ish (final).”

Welcome to the real back nine: administrative chaos.

But fear not, club legends.

There’s a new caddy on the course.

Its name? Oyoi — Own Your Own Information.

(Yes, it sounds like someone yelling at their dog. Yes, it’s also a brilliant idea.)

What is Oyoi?

Oyoi is your golf club’s secure, cloud-based document caddie.

It’s the system that quietly does the heavy lifting behind the scenes — no grumbling, no lost files, no arguing over who emailed what to whom three treasurers ago.

With Oyoi, you can:

✅ Store everything from AGM minutes to pro shop invoices
✅ Set different access levels — so the greenkeeper doesn’t accidentally delete the financials
✅ Pass everything on smoothly when the next volunteer bravely puts up their hand
✅ Access your club’s entire admin life from anywhere (even the 19th hole)

Paper scorecards are charming. Paper governance? Not so much.

Right now, your club’s records may be:

Stuffed in a filing cabinet behind the broom cupboard
Split across 8 personal email accounts
Stored in Barry’s brain (Barry hasn’t been on the committee since 2019)
Accidentally thrown out in the clubhouse spring clean

Enough is enough.

Oyoi is:

•    Volunteer-friendly (no tech skills required)
•    NZ-hosted (your data doesn’t take an international tour)
•    Simple (if you can sink a putt, you can use Oyoi)
•    Affordable (less than a decent golf umbrella, probably)
