Intelligent Golf Booking System

[chellie]

We still have the good old system of booking in at the pro shop up to a week in advance. Opens at 8.00 the week before and this works well as people who are up the club early tend to want early slots and those up later tend to want the later slots. If the list fills up you tend to be able to play later though the tees are not closed so you wait with anyone else. I can honestly say that if we had a system where I consistently could not get a morning slot for a weekend comp then I would have to look to move.

With ours you get the slot you want nearly all the time plus the advantage imo is that times are drawn so you don't get the same people having the same time slot each week which seems to be the complaint. Obviously though if 50 men want to go out before 8.00am some of them will go on a reserve list as there aren't 50 times before 8.00am.

What some clubs would give for these attendances!

Count yourselves lucky if you are so busy you need to complain about it!

Supplementary cards?

How many can I put in and do you have to tell somebody first?

 

[Bazz]

Even for comps?

Yep, pay your money and out you go. Love it.

Frenzy is about right.Although its early days for me, i can see certain names getting certain times, and players playing with same partners, even in individuals at certain times.Pretty nifty on keyboard myself, but the speed of times being booked is a whole new ball game to me.Last night was unbelievable.Love the comp side of it, and will be able to live with it,but as i have said, i am sure some know another way way of getting certain times, and i do not mean the ones exempted, i.e. committees...You playing at weekend?

If you looked at our comp bookings you'd see me in the 1st or second tee time every week, there's nothing sinister about it, I or my mate, just log in and book it.

That's just wrong IMHO.

Our captain and president reserve a 3 ball each

And seeing as I set up the comps I ensure I put my name in and the lads I play with sometines

So do you get about 180 players sign up in the space of 5 seconds?

No, but then I doubt you do either. TBH, it seems the very early tee times aren't that popular so I seem to have little competition for them.

Each club operates slights differently but there should be a way to notify the club prior to the round

We do easily get that type of subscription. It is mental and very frustrating.

A days worth of tee times fill within minutes.

I am sure QWERTY will also attest to that.

But not 5 seconds?

Honestly?

Pre 10:00 are 5 seconds easily

Pre lunch 10 -20 seconds

90% of the remaining are gone within a minute.

Few afternoon spots remain depending on the comp. However they dont last long.

I will add that it can slow down over the year. A lack of Q golf for the last few months and early sunset (lack off tee times) means it really is like a feeding frenzy.

But Rumpokid aint far wrong.

Its manic

Yep, Without a doubt.
Its hard to say exactly how busy it is as the times get booked so quickly, most weeks though I'd say all of the Morning times up to midday are easily booked within 1 minute of going online.
I liked it like that as Theres was always a buzz about the place on Comp day and I was always fine getting a time late afternoon.

Agree with you there pal.

Great atmosphere and a huge amount of tension on that first tee. Especially as you approach your ball and 10-20 blokes all stop talking.

Real pressure. Great fun
