Journeyman Pro
Our club is running an 8 event Xmas Stableford comp, with 2 full weekends (sat and sun) and 4 single Sundays. Bookings for tee times on weekends start to get taken the following weekend, so booking a week in advanced. After 30 minutes of the pro shop being open on Sunday there are hardly any times left, mainly 12.58pm on Sunday, leaving you with around 3 hours until it gets to dark to play.
So today we managed push on from our 12.58 time and obtained a greenslot, very few available but its a first come first serve basis on the day and we managed to get 9.22am, great. Turned up to the course at 8.45, car park is fairly empty. 3 people on the range, no one on the tee and 1 or 2 on the putting green... Great showing for a fully booked day. We tee of 3 ball infront with no one infront of them and no one behind us...
We get through 5 or 6 holes and the course seems lifeless, no ones on the course.
My question, if you book a tee time a week in advance and fail to turn up should you be penalised by the club?
Anyone else have this issue? If I have a time booked and I know I can't make it anymore, I call up and cancel it...
