You see, this is what some people are talking about. Your example demonstrates the inconstant course management of golfers. Several starters will absolutely never let anyone out before their tee time, especially that much earlier with part of a group missing. I also personally know of someone who's foursome was sent out earlier because the previous foursome was a no show. They were not aware they were charged with cancellation points and additional reservation points until they made their next play dates, so beware. It's really sad because there are good people working the starter and ambassador positions and some knuckleheads!
