So I had that happen to me a couple of weeks ago and posted about it. Someone used my name & number as a "filler" or "blocker" on a Tee Time.

I called the Tee Time Office and they seemed to take it seriously. I'm not sure what the ultimate result was, but I'm sure it's not going to happen again to me.

You're 100% right. Any abuse of the Tee Time system, should result in serious consequences. I don't play Executive Courses, but I'm sure they're even worse than the Championship courses when it comes to abuse of the system.

It's like slow play on the PGA Tour. Nothing will change, until penalties that hurt are meted out. Penalize them strokes on the PGA Tour & suspend the Tee Time cheaters.
