I think for whatever reason.it is almost impossable to get the desired tee time with only 3 days advanced notice .... and if you are trying to fit your golf between other activities you must then contend with the setting sun or perhaps the rising sun ...... this is a new thing this year ..... :shrug: also if your partner(??) doesn't play you may have a problem with gender if you are making a request( possably there could be a gender prefrence in the Request format)........... few guys want to play with 3 strange women and not to many women want to play with 3 strange guys :ohdear: ......... ya think

First of all,, the easy one --- I love playing with strange women. Though I've generally kept it to one on one in the past, maybe a 2 to 1 or 3 to 1 might be fun to try. And I really hope there are still women out there who like playing with strange guys.

Re the 3 day notice, at that stage you're going straight to the reservation portion ---- too late for a request. If you're a single or even a double, you'd have a wide choice of tee times all day long. If you're a foursome, the only thing open is going to be a few of the 1st or 2nd tee times and some real late ones that race the sun.

Don't know what you meant by ". . . you must then contend with the setting sun or perhaps the rising sun ...... this is a new thing this year. . . " I seem to remember the sun rising and setting in previous years and even had to quit golfing due to darkness on occasion.

Oh, and if you sign up to join an existing reservation, I believe it tells you the male/female makeup of the group, though I don't think it notes whether the are strange or not.
