Financial penalty for missing exec tee time during high season?
There’s a recent post from a starter, where 20 people did not show up for a tee time, times 40 executives, that’s 800 slots.
What if there was a financial penalty if you do not cancel by midnight the night before? No need to determine if it’s $25 or $100. But the concept? |

I think 2400 cancellation points (20 golfer cancel X 40 execs X 3 cancellation points) is adequate. What would you do with golfers that have a legitimate reason for cancellation the day of their tee time ? Who gets to police that and how ? Great idea - give a HOA ( loose term) more authority. I live here for the lifestyle not controversy. In reality how many times per year have you got shut out for a request providing you are not in a gang of 12 16 20 plus? If one really wanted to impact the shutouts - limit tee times to only a foursome request during Jan - March.

Apparently cancellation points are not a deterrent.

I was definitely getting irritated during the last month when people were clearly being "no shows" due to suboptimal weather on some days. |

I stopped to help a little old lady change a flat tire and missed my tee rime. Will a note from her suffice ?

No no and no. Just how do you propose to collect the money from those who refuse to pay? No shows at golf courses have been an issue from the days of the Scots. No reason to think that we can solve it.

This plan would disadvantage those with less money & advantage those with more money. Additionally, it would tend to advantage younger retirees, or almost retirees & disadvantage older retirees. Due to inflation generally younger retirees are collecting more social security & some almost retirees are still currently working. Yes, I know there are some 'rich' retirees, they would be advantaged in sentence 1.
Additionally younger retirees who might vote for a plan such as this, due to having more disposable income & less patience, would eventually be disadvantaged themselves, as their healthcare costs rise & their income no longer keeps up with inflation, as the fees imposed to today would surely rise in the future as all fees do. |

Give a HOA more authority and they will put a lien on your house for failure to pay - brilliant!

It is not the system it is the golfer. If you can't play call on the day of tee time or cancel the day before if you know. Please don't involve more government style rules.
