Remember, many times, not always, it takes two to cheat. One to use the golfer number of another person, and the second, to give person one your golfer number. Computers can detect only what's given to them, but they cannot detect intent.
There are cases (so I have heard) of people giving out their numbers to neighbors. They don't care since they do not play golf. BAD IDEA. Never give your number to anyone unless you trust them, and if you suspect your number is being used without your knowledge, contact the tee time office and they will make it unusable.
The cheating problem has been on the radar for quite a while, and although it has been curtailed somewhat, elimination of it would come at a price. One that all the honest golfers may dislike. That is why it continues. Price, by the way, doesn't mean money. It means more pain to the golfers in terms of security.
It boggles my mind that someone would fork over two, three, maybe four hundred thousand smackers for a home and then treat their fellow villagers with such disrespect (cheating on the tee time system). It's just inherent with some species that they trash their own den, I suppose.
