Now they will get triple the points and maybe knock that group out next week and knock the individuals from others requests they put in. Then they will complain about not getting tee times. I can’t feel sorry for these people.
The people I do feel sorry for are the singles and couples calling looking for open tee times. Get a call about every 15-20 minutes. Have to tell them none available because these groups have all the times sewn up. If these groups would cancel these individuals the day before and consolidate their players others could find slots online and book them. Or at least have the courtesy to call in the morning and cancel the individuals so the tee times could be given to others when they call wanting to golf. Don’t wait until your group checks in and then say… oh these 2, 3 or 4 people aren’t coming. Those slots are lost. But then I know many do this just so others can’t jump in.
I wish the system would average points over a month vs a week. Then maybe these abusers would get the message when they couldn’t get a tee time for a month.
Don't scream about not having enough courses when 16-20 slots just in the morning at one starter shack are being wasted. Now multiple that for the afternoon too, and then again for all the executive courses… 100’s of tee time wasted daily.
Rant over.
Not surprised.
But the no show will play next week, the group will use another number
Isn’t a new tee time system coming, maybe it will be easy to manage the groups.

Also like the idea of averaging points over a month.
