He would have to have access to real time schedules as persons show up and his preprinted schedule with notes would be obsolete. With tee times scheduled every 8,9 or 10 minutes, the starter must keep the unruly mob of cats in line and moving.
Change the workflow. Put a tablet or a PC in all the starter shacks, and have the checkin by electronic vs paper.
$800 for a new computer for each starter shack won’t break the bank. One big capital purchase.
