Nope. They can put in a guest to accomplish any of those for a reservation except for your suggestions that actually referred to a request (highlighted below), not a reservation - they are different animals. Was your ID used for a reservation or a request? Do you understand the difference? If it was a request then there is a greater probability that it was not a mistake and you were being used as a ghost golfer - a not all that uncommon occurrence. Regardless, just remove yourself and call the tee time office if it happens again.

People do it, so they can improve their chances of getting a preferred Tee Time, and their friends aren't Enhanced Members, as I am.

The reasons to abuse the Tee Time system, are as varied as the number of golf courses we have.

I get that folks that aren't really golfers or have much familiarity with the system might not understand how and why the abuse occurs, but it does and it's not fair to other folks who use the system, honestly.
