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 type of thing can happen accidentally or intentionally. If accidentally, ask your old playing partner to be more careful. If he used you as placeholder, then both you and he/she will be charged points, and you need to insist for that not to be done again. If used as placeholder too many times (3 or 4) within about 6 weeks. You will both be suspended from tee time program. This practice of placeholder makes it hard for singles or twosomes to get a tee time. Golfers do not own the course we just use them. Sometimes we end up playing with strangers, so what? Most of the ones I’ve met are pretty nice. We even get them to join our group occasionally.
