Resident Member 6
Resident Guest 7


For executive courses it states
Priority Member N/A
Priority Guest N/A
Resident Member 6
Resident Guest 7

I don't think it makes any difference what the values are as long as Priority Members have the fewest; Priority Guests have the second fewest; Resident Members have third fewest;
and Resident Guests have the most points.

I looked at the current website and even though the handbook refers to Placement points, it doesn't give them a value.
Thanks. I found a copy of that handbook from 2015 in my files. Indeed as you stated exactly on page 4 are those charts.

Now I read those paragraphs very closely (not easy to do) and I conclude (like you) those placement points establish the tiers and the system sorts first by tier and then by reservation points within that tier. Example - a tier one group has an average of 10 reservation points and a tier two group has an average of 2 reservation points. The tier one group gets the first tee time. Thus it is not important for you and I to know the exact value of the placement points but the key is to know what the the make up of each tier is.

Good Job Rainger99 !
