As near as I can tell, the "flaw in the system" is the way "Groups" can book ... & then they get to the course and drive the Starters crazy, moving people from one foursome to another.

I was in the golf business and if I were King of the Villages Golf System, I cut that stuff out the very first day. You book a foursome, that's the foursome that plays together. If someone drops out at the last minute, tough luck and he pays a "no show" fee, plus gets points added.

I don't know how many times I've listened to guys complain about their group's Tee Times and how hard it is to get them and how much effort it takes. At any decent Private Club in the USA, you'd have a hard time booking any more than (2) Tee Times, in the middle of prime time, in prime season.
I agree. Tee times, at Championships, should be held with a credit card - 12 hour cancellation window. You dont cancel, you pay and get points.
No shows at Executives = points charged.
Foursome booked, is the foursome that plays.
however, you should be able to change the foursome in your groups up to the night before
