twinponds169: a great safeguard in the event that something unforeseen happens to a club owner. In our club, the owner sends a "Transfer of Ownership" email to a trusted club director. This is in the Owner Tools. In this email is a link and once the director clicks on it, he/she will become the new owner of the club. This email link does have an expiration, I believe about 2 weeks, so a fresh one is sent every two weeks.
So let me get this right . You are saying that presently , already provided in the owners tools . If I select a member . Say BillyBob . Click " transfer ownership " . This provides a form with the details of the selected new owner of transfer . Once filled out and sent . Remains inactive in the prospective new owners in box for 2 weeks ? Does it automatically renew ?
In order to see this option you must select a member then click transfer . That action does not automatically transfer ownership . But provides the option for the information to transfer if ever necessary .
Is that correct ? If so . Why is this not common information ? If the procedure is that simple . Knowledge of its existence . Potentially could have avoided the current epidemic of CC's with abandoned owners .
I am not about to try this until I get confirmation .
If this is the case . I am once again appalled at the lack of effort to insure that this feature is known to exist as a safe guard . Rather than a last ditch effort .
Of course I sent a copy to member services for confirmation.
Ibelieve TP described this accurately
on the transfer of ownership a mail goes to the directors email addy supplied to WGT.
I HAVE FOUND THAT A GMAIL ACCOUNT WORKS BETTER THAN OTHERS
on acceptance of the club the director can send ownership transfer back to owner
our club has used this feature for 2 years without issue
