So, when you made the 3-day-out reservation for you, your wife, and 2 guests (but one was actually a public non-guest) you grabbed a tee time you ended up not being entitled to. I know... rules rules... but tee times this time of year are scarce and limiting 'public' slots to day of play is one way TV tries to prioritize and accommodate resident and guest golf demand.

Otherwise, I agree with Indy's assessment of the situation.
It was easy to get the tee time. I just went to the golf system on-line (through thevillages.net, and looked for an open tee time and entered my wife, me, and two guests. My wife and I are priority members. I figured that my friend from Va. would pay the Priority Guest rate and that the Stonecrest friend would have to pay more. I was just trying to entertain my friends at one of TV courses. The 'system' allows available tee-time selection on the golf web site after the usual application period is over. It is not not necessary to wait for "day of play" availability.
