Tee time abuse

[Rich42]

An article in the Daily Sun a couple of days ago was lauding the accomplishment of a golfer who had already played over 1,000 rounds of golf this year. I believe this was executive golf and he had also played additional championship rounds. That averages out, in round numbers, to over 3 rounds of golf per day, every single day of the year. The article further stated there were some days where he played 7 or more rounds. Hello! I have always been told the rule on executive courses is one round max per day, with certain minor exceptions at a few courses where you could do a back-to-back two round day at certain times of the year. And irrespective of the one round per day rule, the way the tee time point system works, it would have been impossible to get that many tee times! It is virtually impossible to play once every day, especially in busy season. I would sure like to know who this guy is paying off to get all these tee times while at the same time denying the rest of us even one time on many days.

You can only get one tee time reservation per day through the tee time reservation system but you can play as much as you want. How ? Call the starter shacks the day off and ask when they have any openings. There are a fair amount of open spots for single players. So, he/she is probably getting an early tee time through the reservation system and then making phone calls to find open spots.

You are misinformed on your suppositions!

[Birdie Dreamer]

The OP should try and learn the tee time process before accusing people of taking payoffs. For example, tomorrow there are currently over 400 slots available before 4:00 for an individual to play if they so desire. I am sure Tuesday and Wednesday are the same. Everyone in The Villages has had a chance to take one of them if they desire.

The individual referenced has not kept anyone from playing as they no doubt have just taken open spots.

[justjim]

There is nothing to keep any golfer to go into the tee-time system and get an unused available tee-time. I personally know several guys who golf five to six days a week by picking up unused tee-times. In addition you can call an executive course and ask for an available cancelled tee-time on the same day you want to play. You can many times get another tee-time by asking for any cancellations on the executive course you finished playing. All legal and all good. Fore...

[Two Bills]

Wife and I played with a gentlemen last year who plays golf all day.
He lives up near Pimlico Exec Course.
He plays as a single, and when he finishes a round, he just asks at starters hut to fit him in with any pair or threesome.
He walks every round as well, and we thoroughly enjoyed his company!

[billethkid]

There are a finite number of foursomes allowed per day.
If there is an opening, how can that be labeled "abuse".

[Mortal1]

You can get multiple tee times per day at exec courses...you just have to make sure they're about 2.5 to 3 hours apart.

People that post false information are of little use to what is the reality of any situation.

[Papa_lecki]

It’s post like this that make one wonder about buying in TV. So what - if there is a tee time available as a walk up, why care if the guy is playing his 2nd 9 or 3rd nine.
If original poster is using the article as proof that original poster can never get a tee time, okay, but how is someone playing a lot of golf impacting the poster? Let the guy play golf.

[asianthree]

OP has been around since 07, and doesn’t understand how system works. With so much time on everyone’s hand, one would think before insinuating post, look at the golf site

You are so wrong.
I just went into the tee time system and confirmed, for Monday, a morning tee time and an after noon tee time from the list of many, many tee times.
So your dreamed up rule about once per day is a myth..........

And you are harmed by this how exactly? Why not just do your own thing and let that guy do his.

...It is virtually impossible to play once every day, especially in busy season. I would sure like to know who this guy is paying off to get all these tee times while at the same time denying the rest of us even one time on many days.

My neighbor that plays in my weekly Friday championship group, during the week he'll ride over to Yankee Clipper/Southern Star which are both nearby with no teetime. As a single, he'll get on and play 3 or 4 days a week, whenever he feels like playing. If you're single, it's not that difficult.

Same goes for the championship courses. My group had a request in for 11:56 to 12:59 at 8 different championship courses on both Friday and Saturday and they were unable to accommodate us. We did get an open time but it was too late a time to play 18 holes. A single could slid in with a lot of groups before 1:00. BTW, I use 11:56 because the earliest second wave teetime and I use 12:59 as a cutoff because to finish 18 holes would be about 5:00 or slightly later.

you don't understand why he plays so much golf....I know who the weirdo is...not the guy who plays lots of golf for sure.

A couple of weeks ago I was playing Oakleigh in a threesome. A lady walked off of Amberwood, saw we were a threesome and asked the starter if she could join us. No problem, she joined us! For a person to play three executives a day can easily be accomplished.

WHY........I would ask someone to admit to the funny house......because obviously I’d be in need of help

[Rwirish]

Wow. He probably takes unused times as a single.

[GOLFER54]

I presume he sleeps and packs breakfast, lunch and dinner in his golf cart.

[rlcooper70]

This post is an example of "assuming the worst" of those around us .... while we do have the option of just assuming the best .... if a man wants to play golf all day long and can accomplish it, then good for him. My back would break if I tried. Kudos to the guy.

Keep moving, nothing here to see. :clap2:

[sfryzel]

Does the article say all rounds were played on courses in the villages?

You obviously didn't read the article very good. Lots of people do more than one round a day. My friend Janet Schiffler who had the most rounds last year for a woman (734)
plays several rounds a day. The article mentioned Robert Smith had played as many as 830 rounds. I put in a reservation 3 days in advance. Tee times have to be 2 hours and 1 minute apart. It's easy to get tee times for a single.
Lots of time for my second or third round I would get there early and if there was an opening earlier than my tee time, the starters had the option to bump me up into the open tee slot.
I have had fun playing with sooooo many nice people. It was just something I wanted to do and now I'm back to playing only ONCE or TWICE a day.
I'm truly sorry if I offended you by playing so much golf.

[Bay Kid]

Jealous I guess. Heaven forbid someone having a good time and you aren't.

[Waltdisney4life]

Want some cheese with that whine?

[OhioBuckeye]

I think this person only telling us part of the story about why they can’t get a Tee time or why some people they think get more than their share. My god, there’s probably at least 60 golf course & they’re worried about how much they play!

[lpkruege1]

Open times that are not used are wasted. You too can take up an open slot if you want to golf with people you don't know. I do it on a regular basis. I've really enjoyed the people's company. You need to be somewhat social. Now if you do that you have to understand, the more games you play the less priority you have in the system. So when you put in for a 3some or a 4some you may not get your tee time. If you pick a small window of time to golf, or a select few courses you again limit your chances to play. I'm a single golfer, here since Oct. 5th. and I have it figured out. I don't worry about what everyone else is doing, what they have, what I don't have, I focus on the great gifts god has given me, and how great it is to be alive, living here in the Villages. We can always find things to be unhappy about, but I choose to focus on the things I can be happy about. It makes for a much happier life. Look around. There's a lot of people that truly have it rough. Be thankful for what you have. Don't worry, be happy.
