That is so wrong. THERE ARE waves on Saturday and Sunday mornings. YES, you can play nine on the weekends.

In the Course Etiquette section of The Rules Of Golf:
"In the "Pace of Play" section: "It is a group's responsibility to keep up with the group in front. If it loses a clear hole and it is delaying the group behind, it should invite the group behind to play through, irrespective of the number of players in that group." "In the "Priority on the Course" section: "Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, priority on the course is determined by a group's pace of play. Any group playing a whole round is entitled to pass a group playing a shorter round. The term 'group' includes a single player." TV courses are USGA approved courses, so why are they not following USGA guidelines ? I have never seen a rule by the TV Golf Committee that supersedes this.

That does nothing to solve the problem of no t times between 9:30 and noon.

I play off campus from Jan-March every year and the waves are part of the reason. I spoke with 2 of the Golf Course managers about the wait at the turn with the same results. "You play too fast", in reality they schedule the T-times to maximize the income with no gap in time allowed between the end of a wave and the golfers making the turn. Instead of planning for the first group of the day to play in 2 1/2 hours plan for 1 3/4 hours leaving a open period for "Fast Golfers" or as previously suggested designate one of the 3 nines to accept the people making the turn.

When you have 27 holes, an efficient tee time system will fill 9 holes at a time, within all 3 nines crossing over to another nine. If you finish the first nine under the alotted time (2:08 hours), you will have to wait for the remaining tee times to go before you start the back nine.

Oops, you are correct. I was thinking summer play

To allow for fast play, the number of tee times would be reduced. Is that not punishing others?

No wave system equals no delay in crossing over...and no need to reduce tee times. |

And no wave means t times would be available between the desirable time slot of 9:30 and noon. On a typical day, many t times go unfilled between the first available in the morning and around 8:30.

In either case, wouldn't those early tee times go unfilled anyway????

Sorry, you are not correct, the 27 hole course have the wave 7 days a week. You are correct you can play 9 any time on the weekends
