TurfDogGolf course job board software: put your crew board on a TV
A golf course job board is the day's plan made visible: every assignment, every crew member, every shift, on one screen. The modern version is software — a live board on a TV in the shop and on every crew phone — that replaces the whiteboard and the morning group text.

What is a golf course job board?
Every morning the same thing happens: the superintendent or assistant writes the day's jobs on a whiteboard, the crew crowds around it, someone takes a photo for the group text, and by 9 a.m. the plan has changed and the board is wrong.
Job board software moves that board into a screen. Assignments are dragged onto people and shifts, and the board updates everywhere at once — the TV in the shop, the superintendent's desk, and the crew's phones.
Why put the board on a TV?
Because the crew already looks at the wall. A TV in the shop shows the whole day at a glance — assignments, staff photos so new faces learn names, the weather header, events, and the forecast. Nobody needs a login to look at a TV.
TurfDog's public TV display board is built for this: big text, high contrast, your course photo and logo, and it runs on any smart TV or a cheap streaming stick with a browser. The same board is on crew phones for the people already out on the course.
How does drag-and-drop scheduling work?
You build the day by dragging tasks onto people and people onto shifts. Change your mind at 10 a.m. and the board updates before the crew finishes the job they are on. Shift schedules handle the part-timers and the weekend crew without a separate spreadsheet.
With Bingo, TurfDog's AI assistant, you can skip the dragging entirely: Build Day and Build Week take your task list and available staff and draft the board for you to adjust.
What about texting the crew?
On TurfDog's Superintendent and Club plans the board has two-way SMS built in. Text the crew from the board, and they can reply with data — a moisture reading, a finished task, a photo. It keeps work texts out of your personal message thread and on the record.
Job board software vs the whiteboard and group text
The whiteboard is not wrong — it is just invisible to anyone not standing in front of it, and it forgets everything by tomorrow. The software board remembers, which is what makes labor reports and next week's planning possible.

Frequently asked questions
Does the crew need accounts or logins?
No. The public TV board needs no login at all, and crew members see the same board on their phones without individual accounts.
What hardware do I need for the TV board?
Any smart TV with a browser, or an inexpensive streaming stick. Open the board's web address and it runs full screen.
Can I build the week ahead, not just today?
Yes. You can schedule ahead day by day, and Bingo's Build Week drafts the whole week from your task list and available staff.
Does it handle shifts and part-timers?
Yes — shift schedules are part of the board, so morning crew, evening crew, and weekend staff each see their own assignments.
What happens when it rains and the plan changes?
Drag the assignments to the new plan and the board updates everywhere at once. That is the main reason courses switch from whiteboards.
