Most folks who are regular users of the tee time system know of one or more people who make use of "ghost" golfers on their requests. I agree that it may be difficult to catch if done sporadically. Still, the tee time office views this practice as abuse of the system, and offenders can be punished. I know a resident who was regularly using the ID# of a non-golfer as a ghost. After repeated instances, the tee time office busted him. His golfing privileges were suspended for 30 days.
