The 6th option from the top is called, review your play history.

You are 100% correct. Usually the first offence the person who entered the ghost golfer gets a call from the tee time office and given a warning this is not allowed. If caught a second time the usual punishment is suspension of golf privileges for a period of time. The office has the ability to track if this is a certain group of golfers using this practice. Upon first offence the office will notify the person who entered the golfer to also notify all the other golfers in your group you have been warned. If a different golfer in your group now enters a ghost golfer that golfer generally will not get a warning and golf privileges suspended.

Is there a way to check online if you do not have an account?

No need to wear badges or special hats...... you'll know who they are.

This is a very sloppy and easy to abuse method of operation. Your ID can become a commodity.

Somebody can miss type an ID that is yours and be assigned a time unknown to you...

Then they should use the indecisive players number to hold the spot. Let him get the points for not showing up.

Villages ID theft to ghost a time is very different.

I routinely will “hold” a spot if for example we have 19 expected to play. But I usually do so by putting in a guest. Come the evening before the golf outing if no one becomes available to fill that spot I will delete it thus making it available for an outside single to join us. Quite often one of our players who originally could not play has a scheduling change and becomes free to play so I simply substitute them in the held spot.

Someone may be using your # because you have lass points and helps get them a tee time then substitutes the player with more points or cancels you. It is against the rules and is considered fraud and will result in suspension of golf privileges if for both of you if caught. By all means report it. Some men use their non playing wives to do that and also will result in suspension if caught.

That is against the rules and considered fraud by TV and will result in suspension if caught. Check your rules.

I have a neighbor that uses his wife's iD number because she plays infrequently while he accumulates 4-6 points a week. It lowers the average points with a higher probability of getting a reservation.

And that is absolutely abuse of the system.

That could explain once at best, but this seems to be an ongoing problem for the OP
