There is a possibility that he inadvertently clicked on your name from the pull down menu of players when making a reservation on the Villages website. I have done this in the past when I was distracted. If it happened for a request (instead of a reservation) then my first thought is he was using you as a ghost golfer if you didn't have any points. For a reservation, however, there is a good possibility of just a mistake in the pull down menu as he could have just put in a guest. Just take yourself out. If the points for cancelling are an issue, call the tee time office.

Someone just used my name & number to make a Tee Time Reservation. I know who the person is and I haven't played golf with him, in years.

A) What do I do about it ... who do I call?

B) How do I make sure it doesn't happen again (there are only 2 or 3 people that have my number).
