Same issue with using a wifes number to fill a slot instead of a regular golfer who has points. Teetimes are issued based on whos request has the least points. Using a ghost golfer id who has zero points, moves your request up in the que, and you get a tee time you are not entitled too.

In case my posts were not clear, I agree with everything you have said in your post.
In one of my previous post I described what a friend was doing as "causing no harm".
I should not have said that.
Although it is not as harmful as ghosting (not showing so you play as a threesome with just your buddies) or subbing in a guest after you get a tee time, it is
certainly wrong for the reason you stated about 'points'.
Knowing him and chatting with him after, I know his motive was not to cheat the system. He was making sure he had four slots and felt as long as four residents played, what was the big deal.
I am just describing the situation, not defending him.
He was caught, he now understands why it was wrong, his poor wife was punished and he has never done that again (to my knowledge). I only see him occasionally on 18 hole courses.
