however, you should be able to change the foursome in your groups up to the night before
I agree. Changing the foursomes a day or 2 prior is fine, but the Starter's Sheet on the morning of play, should show exactly who's playing in what group, at what time.

Not to put too a fine of a point on it, but there are also practical reasons. We're dealing with a lot of older folks here and emergencies arise. If something like that happens, a person should be able to call the Pro Shop and know exactly where someone is on the course or facility. I admit I've played more golf than the average person, but I've been in at least 3 or 4 situations, when the Pro Shop had to come out on the course to find someone. It's much easier, if everyone is where the Tee Sheet says they are.

OK, on one of the occasions, it was just a Sheriff, trying to serve someone ... so no big deal if they could't find him.
