This is just my opinion based on rudimentary knowledge of what I have seen in TV golf.
Most golfers play fast and expect to be done with 9 holes in about 1:30 to 1:45. Using the wave the entire system is predicated on a two hour turn. If you turn in less then there are still posted tee times staring on the other nine.
One does not have to like to system but it is a good way to maximize play.
My home course in the north has 27 holes and they do not use the wave. They simply schedule the same rotation all day. The North turns East, the East turns South, and the South turns North. Then it become random chaos for the starter but by then the GM is no longer there so there is no problem. Lol!
