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).
This happened to my husband. The person who makes the reservation has to have his or her name on the reservation, so my husband was able to ascertain who made the tee time since he had only played golf with one of the people on the reservation. He discovered it when we tried to make a tee time and he had a conflict. We removed his name and he called the person involved and told him not to use his name again without his knowledge. So far, no other occurrences that we know of. A person can lose their golf privileges for doing this sort of thing.
