The last two Fridays I've played and we waited until Thursday to put in for a threesome at a championship. Last Friday for example, one course was closed, that was Belle Glade for overseeding. We took Evans Prairie at 12:52 and we were the last group to tee off. Essentially nobody is playing except for those on the course after 1pm. If they kept the 11am discount for the second wave they would be making more money with more teetimes, or maybe just go up from $23 to $32 after 11am, and they could still keep their full price for the morning wave.
