Fastest finger first. Booking tee times

[Mandofred]

Why any member thinks it is ok to use any automation to help them get a time before other members is selfish and arrogant. That’s my opinion anyway.

What??? So.....somebody using a computer to log on for a tee time, when some old fella who doesn't use a computer (yes, they are out there) is selfish and arrogant? Are you against a new driver because you can hit it 20yds (possibly 50 miles) further? The world moves on....whether I like it or not.

But, if it is so basic, then it would be widespread wouldn’t it?

It prob is already and needs someone to create the script

I'm sure he meant "sneaky additional steps" beyond what everyone else is supposed to use!! Anyway, that's how I read it.

We've got lots of octogenarians using smart phones!

Though , from the comments on here, it seems unlikely. There may be a reluctance to admit using one, but I also believe that some forummers couldn’t resist talking about it.

I would think the demographic on here is probably at a later age , the ones I know have been created by the younger generation

I don't really get it. I'm more than happy as a retired git to play at 10 or 11....but people just won't give up their prime time tee times.

How do you feel about the group where all 4 people try and grab a time slot, block 4 tee times then message each other and cancel 3 of the bookings 5-10 mins later?

What about the guys that organise themselves to have 4 all go for a tee time ?

Or those that have faster internet or faster PCs etc

There's a clear difference between what you are suggesting and what @KenL is objecting to. If you can't see that..........

They are all methods to find a way to book a tee time quicker than someone else at the end of the day

That’s why a lot of older golfers are against the relentless March of technology over traditions !
