People drive from exec course to exec course throughout the day to play. They do not realize that they are accumulating points. So when they play in a group and a TT Request is input, the TT system may kick the group out, because of too many points. The average weekly points to have is 3 to 4 to play in a group. However, during season it doesn’t matter if you have zero points, because the system and requests is over run by too many people playing golf during this time. Hence the reason why people drive from course to course looking for open spots verses using the automated TT System.
Please attend the New to Golf School, which is free. To best educate yourself on how to use the automated TT System.
Happy Golfing!

This information is not correct. There certainly are placement points, and they are the first item considered in any
request made in the tee time system.
Also, you do not automatically get 3 points to cancel/no show. One point is assessed for obtaining a reservation, whether thru a request or direct reservation. If you play, it remains as one point. If you cancel a reservation 2 or three days prior to the reserved time, you get one penalty point, for a total of 2 points. If you cancel the day of play, or are a no-show, you get 2 penalty points, for a total of 3.
The algorithm used by the tee time system is very complex, but in it's simplest terms you can count on this: If playing championship courses, Enhanced Members will always have priority over those without it. On executive courses, groups that include guests will go to the bottom of the pecking order. Groups that include golfers with a high number of points will struggle for tee times during the busy season.
