Crazy starter this morning:
Our tee time was 8am.
The 7:44 two-some showed up about five minutes before their tee time.
They asked if they could go out later so they could warm up a bit.
We (two-some) said we can out go at 7:44 if they want to go at 8am.
They said that would be great.
The starter said no.
Really?!?!?!
Despite the no shade thing I agree that the creek is in great condition. If I’m going to make the long trek south to play a Champ I would select the creek over the oaks every time. As far as the starter, that’s typical. The system they are instructed to run requires the names and times in the system to line up with play on the course. Otherwise they would have to cancel everyone’s scheduled tee times in the system and rebook the players under a different time. That happened to me one time when someone in our foursome showed up late and the starter shuffled our tee time with the group after us. When I checked my play history on the system it showed that I canceled a tee time and then rebooked another. Some starters are willing to do that and apparently others are not?
