If you did straight teetimes, how would those playing 18 holes ever get to the back nine, that's why we have a wave.

The only way the make this work is to have the Christmas Day procedures in place. For example at Bonifay, 18 hole players tee off at Destin and then go to Pensacola for the back nine. Those playing 9 holes would tee off at Ft. Walton, there would no need for a wave. Works great on Christmas. You rotate the 18 holes and 9 hole courses weekly, because for example my favorite is Destin to Ft. Walton, so every 3 weeks that would be available.
