So at my club we have 3 courses, with one course being seen as a level above the other two. This causes tee times to be in demand for that course on the weekends, and unfortunately that course happens to be the one I live on and is most convenient. For every weekend we have the same 7-10 people book two back to back tee times two weeks in advance, using up 14-20 of the 25 total pre-noon tee times (which is my preferred time).
It almost never occurs that any of these people use both tee times. Usually they cancel one of their tee times the night before, but regardless keep the whole booking system tied up until usually after 9pm the day before. I know some people would say to just book before them, but it’s like they have a bot booking the times, because they are on the tee sheet as soon as bookings open, and let’s be honest, most of us don’t have the time to be hawking tee times two weeks in advance every single weekend anyway.
So, my question is, have you had this issue at your club , and if so, what has been done to corral the offenders? Is there anything you have found to do to get decent tee times other than either becoming one of these offenders or having to wait until literally midnight the night before to get a tee time?
