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

no shows is a real problem, some Sat you turn up on the tee for your times and despite it being fully booked up the whole morning , you hardly see a sole before or after.

club as been "monitoring" it for a couple of years but nothing has been done

That's really poor then. What have they said when you've complained about it.

Our system goes live at 7.00am two weeks in advance, as long as you want a tee time after about 10.30 the course is normally clear. Otherwise it's fastest finger first!

looks like you got a market Kerching...... :D

Actually you've gave me an idea PBrown.. Anyone wants their bookings managed for a small monthly fee all I'll be happy to take the stress away and can book in your 4ball with a guaranteed timeslot. PM for further details. And I'll cut PBrown in with a free 4ball for the tip :D

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.
Any chance you could send me the code/app please?

LOL. Utterly brilliant!!!! Nutz to 'em. I always say. as you put a system in place to stop certain thing from happening, someone will be out there finding a way round it.
I doff my hat to your computer knowledge and your ingenuity.

I don't see anything wrong with an automated app. Though a 'better' way would be for certain 'pre-allocated' slots to be made available for regular groups/swindles - with a use-it-or-lose-it proviso.

Folk I know are often sitting waiting for the cut-off to book their desired time(s). With swindles, that's normally the same time every weekend, so pre-allocation makes sense to me!

Very clever, but I think it’s fairly obvious to see why people would get annoyed seeing the same guy, having the exact same tee time, every single week.

It would be interesting to see if he’s still doing it 2 years later :)

Anyone know how to change the set sunrise times on your clubs BRS system?
Our club won’t allow tee bookings before the sunrise 🌅 time on our BRS system, but it’s so far out it’s embarrassing. There are at least 20 to 30mins of daylight time before the BRS stated sunrise time.

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 :rolleyes:.

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?
Are you still using the App you developed for booking on BRS?
