BRS Booking

[doire]

After weeks of not being able to get a tee time at my local club since they introduced the BRS booking software and having a background in programming I built myself an app.. Long story short a few fellow members are a little perplexed and unimpressed by the fact that I get the same timeslot each week while everyone else seems to be in a lucky dip, things have been coming to a head with some of them accusing me of hacking the site .

Am i going against the "etiquette of the game" as most of the clubs members would be a generation older than myself and a lot less technically aware or is it fair game?

Welcome to the forum what is it your app does? Tell us about yourself and your golf

Fairly new to "real" golf playing off 18 and not making a lot of headway but after years of playing society golf about 6 times a year I plucked up the courage (and joining fee) and joined a club. Its a links course and learning very slowly about the advantage of being on a fairway!!

My club uses the BRS booking system and each week at the same time on a Monday evening the timesheet for the Saturday goes live and all the members try to book a timeslot. The app basically pings the website faster than than a person can so I always gets the timeslot I want.

My fear is that having just paid a joining fee the club might view this with contempt and might be a bit early to rock the boat.

Can't see the problem myself.
Enjoy your new course and good luck with lowering that handicap.

Send me an email address and I'll see what I can do.. No problem sharing as long as your not in my club.

I'm being accused of everything from hacking websites to bribing the pro. I've told none of the members but starting to think the truth is a lot less offensive than the rumours.

I would be quite interested in this as well because my home club uses BRS too

i could be interested in this as well. I might have to take over the booking of our Sat roll up. We currently have to wait till midnight 2 weeks before and people keep nicking our slots, then don't turn up anyway.

If its a club sanctioned one can you not ask the person who blocks off times for club matches etc to block some times for the roll up? Think that's how it works for us, but then again the captain and comp sec normally play in it so that might be why

its just a load of mates so they won't block off the times, well not for us anyway

Very sneaky Id say, you should have the same chance as everyone else, probably one of the reasons clubs bring it in is for fairness.
If you didnt want to get caught, would you not have thought to vary the times slightly?

 

[Deleted member 15344]

I can see why this wouldn't sit well with the members - the club no doubt has the system for a reason and whilst it's inventive it's also by passing a system that is fair for everyone

 

[Crazyface]

I'll have it too. Love technology!!!!! (We've only just introduced BRS and no ones bothering with it but I'd just like to be prepared).

I can see your logic but I'm a creature of habit and I like to tee off about 8.. Maybe time to vary it a little.

Stokie, Crazyface etc drop me a PM with your email address and I'll get you a copy.. Might take a few days but I will get back to you

If they don't turn up why no sanctions by the club and why on earth have the time set to midnight Ours open at a reasonable 8.00am the week before.
