Fastest finger first. Booking tee times

[Lord Tyrion]

The tech is available to anyone

There are even companies that can do it for you

It really isn't unless you look deeply into it. 99.99% of golfers will have no idea that this exists, I'm assuming it does exist based on your comments.

You think committees would be okay with members using this? Heck, it's available to anyone so why not? Impressive levels of tosh

I’m with you on this. I’m 45 so not old despite what my kids say! I had no idea you could automate or write scripts to book tee times for you, I wouldn’t even know where to start with it. I certainly would be annoyed if every single week the same people were getting all the preferential times because of using this method knowing I’d been spending so much time trying to do it the “right”
Way and losing out every single time.

What is the "right way" to book tee times? Is using this magic program against the rules? If not, then it is ok to use it. Do I like it?....not particularly. But then again, I have a decent list of things with golf that I would change if I could.....but a lot of other people wouldn't agree with.....which is ok. People just view things differently.....nothing wrong with that.

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.

Ridiculous!

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?

Fine, they are just organised.

It IS against the rules at my club. They issued a statement saying “bots” must not be used. I agree completely with this.

Whilst I can accept this rule because I think it is written to attempt to promote fairness, how do they police it?

Sat waiting for my wife to get up on Xmas morning. Unbelievable, there’s no snow here, but I think I can see reindeer poo on the lawn.

Oh. Just noticed I started posting 7 years ago yesterday - belated Happy Anniversary to me.

No idea.

I guess they work on the principle that Golf is a sport of integrity and if they ask for something to not happen then it won't....

Good luck with that.
