To have an average of 2.5, (16 golfers x 2.5 = 40 total points) the breakdown would look almost like this. This only totals 39 points. 1 has 0 points 3 have 1.0 points 4 have 2.0 points 4 have 3.0 points 4 have 4.0 points You may have too many guys playing too often to get lucky for 2.5-hour windows. Increase your available times and cut the golfers that got their rounds in already and the rest of you should be ok. |

My gut instinct is this set of variables is a close call. Footnote - your assumption about the rank order of golfers points is wrong . One golfer had 2.7 points. Others had tenths of a point also. I do appreciate your insight. In this case if this were your group trying to play a neighborhood game such as captain and crew and you could change only one variable -what would you pick ? - remove the highest point golfers (obviously eliminate a foursome to preserve the neighborhood game format) - extend the time window Last edited by rustyp; 02-10-2024 at 03:37 PM. |

To answer your follow-up question, to help the case of my group I'd do both. And we do (for all with more than 2.0). Every time. |

When people do requests for 4 groups is the idea that the 4 groups will all be placed in 4 consecutive timeslots on the same course? If that's the case, I wonder how much your odds would go up if you split those groups in half and did 2 separate bookings, probably a lot I would think.

Not what I asked - but some people can't color between the lines ever. How many courses do you put in ?

Points are rather high. Open up the time window by at least 2-3 hours. Add a few more courses also. Wednesday is ladies day so many courses are already busy in the morning - so the afternoon becomes crunch time. Good luck. Anxious to hear how it works out for you - hope it does!

And I answered BOTH of your questions, so who is outside the lines? |

If you called 100 Golf courses in the USA and requested a Prime Season, Prime Tee Time for 16 golfers ... 95 of them would laugh and 3 would hang up, thinking it was a joke and the other 2, you wouldn't want to play.
Only in The Villages, do people think they have an inalienable right to get a Tee Time for large groups of people. The Villages should limit groups of over 8 players, to before 9 a.m. or after 2 pm, like most every other golf facility. At most private clubs, you can't even bring a guest on a Saturday or Sunday in prime season, unless it's in afternoon. |
