Now that was wrong because while I had played four times, two of those were for reserved times after 4 pm. So, I should have had only 2 points.
But here is what happened.
My spouse and I had reservation for Saturday at 4:02. When we got to the starter shack at 3:40 the starter said “There is no one ahead of you, you can go if you want.” So, we started twenty minutes early.
When I checked my “play history” what I found out is that this was coded as a cancellation of our 4:02 reservation and a “Walkon.” I was then charged a reservation point.
Attached is the section of the screenshot that I took so that people can’t say that it doesn’t happen.
I don’t know if this is a function of how the guy at the shack enters (or doesn’t enter) information. And it is probably different if they call you up early because they are running ahead of schedule.
About a month or so ago when I asked the starter at a starter shack about whether going early changed my reservation points, he replied he didn’t know what they do at the tee time office.
My gripe is that no one has ever told me when they asked if I wanted to go early or join an earlier group that it would affect my reservation points. But it can and attached is the proof of it.

Thank you. That's interesting and maybe what's happened to our group. I do have a question for you. When looking at available tee times and courses do they show in any way whether the courses are undergoing aerification of greens maybe by color or astericks or something or do you have to keep a schedule handy?
