Becoming a Founding Coach
What you get
Founding Coach consists of two separate things. The founding rate: the first 25 coaches on Golfly permanently pay €20 per month less. And the club claim: the first coach who claims their club in the club guide on golfly.nl gets a Founding Coach listing on that club page and in their admin. The claim itself gives no discount.
The founding rate is €79 instead of €99 for Pro, and €109 instead of €129 for Pro + Swing Check. The €20 still applies when you add WhatsApp. Golfly applies the rate automatically to your first successful payment after the 30-day trial, as long as one of the 25 places is still free. If that first payment fails, the place is released again. On golfly.nl you can see how many places are still left.
How to claim a club
- Go to golfly.nl/clubs and open your club.
- Click Claim this club and enter your email address. You do not need a credit card.
- Click the link in the confirmation email within 24 hours.
- If you use an email address on the domain of the club's website, your claim is verified straight away. Otherwise Golfly checks the claim by hand first.
- Create your site via Word coach; the claim is linked to your site.
If you have a site without a claim, one week after you create it you receive a single email titled "Heb je je golfclub al geclaimd?" (Have you claimed your golf club yet?).
Seeing your status in the admin
Under Admin → Referrals, on the right, is the Founding Coach card:
- If you are the first coach at your club, you see the Founding Coach seal with "since month year", the text "You are Founding Coach at club." and the button View public club page.
- If you are the second or third coach, it says "You are the second coach at club."
- If you have no claim, it says "Be the first coach at your club." with the button Claim your club.
For a club account this page does not exist.
What is on the club page?
As long as the first claim is less than 90 days old and there is still room for a second or third coach, the club page shows the Founding Coach seal of the first coach and an invitation for colleagues to join too. After that the block disappears and you appear as an ordinary coach in the list on the club page. The second and third coaches do not get a separate listing on the club page.
Frequently asked questions
Does this apply to all Dutch clubs?
Every club in the club guide can be claimed once. The founding rate of €20 discount is separate from that and is limited to 25 coaches across the whole of Golfly.
Can I become a Founding Coach at more than one club?
You can be the first coach at one club. At other clubs you can be the second or third coach. The card in your admin shows only your highest position.
Does this combine with the referral programme?
Yes. In a month that you get free through a referral, you pay €0; the €20 discount then makes no difference.
What if I no longer use the club?
Only claim a club where you really teach. You cannot undo a claim yourself; for that, email support@golfly.nl.
