And that in a nutshell is why I would never want a booking system, inconsideration like this. Yes I know you cancel in so called good time but imagine the chaos if everyone was doing it.

It seems if you know the owner it is ok though. I wonder what course guest100718 plays on. Perhaps he is the owner ? Have asked before but he seems quite shy in answering.:whistle:
 
Whilst we use an online system we can still turn up and play at the next available time. The only difference is that by pre booking you know exactly at what time you go out. If you don't have computer access then you can call the pro shop to check availability and they'll book you in. I honestly don't see how that's a more hindering system than simply turning up and waiting your turn. Neither system ensures that there's more available slots than golfers but at least with a pre booking you know before hand if it's already full and you can save yourself a journey.

Before we had it in place I would quite often go up after work on a nice summer evening to find every man and his dog had the same idea resulting in a long wait to get on.

Do you have roll ups? Seems to me that TBS must do away with them, so how do you ever get to know other members ?

we have a TBS and lots of roll ups on non medal days- they just book 4 or 5 tee times in advance and people 'roll up' to play in one if they want. Beauty is they can see online when the roll ups start each week:thup:

We have drawn comps, encourages to book in with other members etc.

I joined a club with brs this year and was a bit concerned as I only knew a couple of members. Between the drawn comps and evening or weekend knocks where you join up with people I've met loads of members this year.

Edit, not sure about roll ups etc as I very rarely play in the week other than in the evenings and Saturday is comp day

Edit edit :) only important number in the poll really is those who have a system and are unhappy with it. Only 2 votes but interesting to see how it ends up

Not suggesting that this is the case with any on here but there does seem to be a growing tendency these days for people only wishing to play in their own regular fourballs and, thus, not really integrating with the rest of their club's members.

Obviously it is their prerogative, just not how I view golf-club membership.

Why would it do away with them! If you turn up and the time is free then the pro or whoever would enter your name and off you go.

I have never came across an on-line system that only allows you to book on the on-line system!?

That's fine if you have time to waste hanging around or want to join a bunch of others, but not for me

No time is wasted though

And do you not want to play with others ?

Roll up's at our club are a group of players 20 plus turning up at a set time to then get drawn out of a hat to play with each other. You then go off over the next hour or so. I don't mean just turning up looking for a game. Perhaps it is more a private members Club thing. Great for new members as you get to know other members really quickly, as it is a random draw, and different people turn up each week.
 
I moved from a club without it, to one that uses BRS for all Tee Time bookings. I MUCH prefer to book tee times online. Quite often I'd turn up at the old club to see that every man and his dog had decided to play. The wait would have been a pain, so I'd go home. Now, I can book online before setting off and get a guaranteed slot. Works so much better for me...

If I was looking to join a new club, whilst it wouldn't be a deal breaker, it would certainly be a plus point if a Club had online booking...

I prefer to play with my usual PP's or on my own. I'm not a sociable person. I don't particularly like having to endure forced integration just for the sake of a social knock. I'll quite happily play with others in Comps though.. To each their own...:D

I'd have thought you'd be all over a thread with a title like "The Future of Golf" being as you're a member of a such a forward thinking progressive club that harnesses the power of the internet for booking a tee. It might have been all about you.

I'm in one of those dinosaur clubs where we just wander up and play with no hassle, must be lovely in your modern world.

It is, I can even turn the TV channel over without leaving my chair.

Thats what we have as well. 4 or 5 of the regular attendees will book the times in advance. On non comp Saturday mornings we don't allow pre booking so in that case the first 4 or 5 who arrive will book the times. Occasionally someone else will book a time within our 'block' and so they'll be offered our first time to keep us together. If they don't want it then no big deal.
