I have no knowledge of the tee time software. Is it possible (or even practical) for me to check to see if someone is using my ID to secure a tee time?

Yes. You will see the reservation that 'you' have.

If you go to "thevillages.net" and log in to golf, you can review your play history, which would tell you whether someone is doing that or not.

They hope no one will join them, which holds an open space for group members that might show up unscheduled, and sometimes are not very welcoming to golfers outside their group joining them. When playing as a single, it is very unusual to not enjoy the company of fellow golfers, with that one exception.

This kinda makes me want to jump in on one of these groups more. Either I will win them over with my humor and charm, or I will be entertained by their irrational irritation.

about the word enhanced..............

They get 3 points for not showing on the day of play.

3 points for no show or cancelling day of reservation, 2 points for cancelling prior.

That's against the rules but then rules are for those who abide by them, so it seems. But what an attitude!! I've been here 26 years and I have met some wonderful people who joined our group as a single. Some have become close friends and some have joined our group, as a result. I can count on one hand the number of duds, but even those were tolerable for a couple of hours. If one is not welcoming, they get the ice treatment in return, so try lightening up and accept the player as they are. If it pains you, it's only for a short time.

When I am a single golfer I find myself in the middle of these groups. 99% of the time it is always a pleasure. Many, many nice people. Great way to meet people.

I find the individuals are in most cases, good guys.

The "Group" as a group, are a bunch AH's, who think the world owes them and the Starters are their lackeys.

In what world, can you book a group of 20 guys at a golf course, in prime time ... & then allow them to switch players, groups & times?

Yep. Some years ago, as a single, I ended up as a 4th in what otherwise was 3 linked groups of 3. One of the players dropped out so they just went ahead and made their own 2 groups of 4, which would have left me as a single sandwiched between two foursomes. Not even a "may we"????? And the starter told them they can't do that, but they got their way anyway. I was tempted to play alone between them and take about 6 hours to do it, but I just filled in at another 9.

The tee time system that The Villages have come up with is fair, if someone has low points they versus high points that person is treated fairly!

[FloridaGuy66]

I think playing as a single isn't as bad as most people think. I think at least 98% of the time I've had a good experience and the other 2% is just where you tolerate the other 3 people but you still can enjoy playing your round.

Agree if you are referring to the Executives.
