As our seasonal residents return, tee time availability within 24 hours is going to be hit or miss, especially if you're looking for room for a foursome. If you don't make a request/reservation, you need to look three days out for your best chance of finding room.
There is no way TV is doing something special to make it easier for seasonal residents to get tee times over full time residents. The primary factor may be that these returning golfers have no points, so those playing multiple times per week wind up with lower priority for times. Think about that man profiled in the paper at the opening of Mangrove and Sweetgum who plays every exec course every month. He must have a lot of points, so he has to seek out open times on the computer in order to play that much. If you want to play a lot during the high season, that's the way to go. But be sure to get those times as soon as they open three days out.
