Pretty much, everyone knows that from 10-11 on a Saturday through the winter the sweep is on, if you don't want to play in it you should look at another time, it's not a clique and is very inclusive and great craic too

Sounds good, but I think we've been running too long as we are to introduce that now, maybe I'll mention it to a few and see what the response is..

Hmm, this tee booking things seems great, what if I book 10:30 for me and my mates, do I get lynched?

No, it's your tee if you book it but members tend to avoid the sweep times, no lynching or bullying it just happens. If you are adamant that every week you want to play at that time it would make sense to play in the sweep.

so what your saying is if a club like RAGC doesn't have a booking system and a sweep goes out at the same time every week they are hogging the course and it's unfair to other members but if it is known that a certain group books the same tee times every week at a course using a TBS it's OK?

Who said anything about hogging the course? I for one don't buy into that argument as long as these sweeps/roll ups are inclusive.

What is the difference with an organised sweep that has a secured tee time weekly to that of a championship qualifier when the tee is blocked off for most of the day?

Standing regular tee times, whether booked on-line or not, should not be allowed in my opinion. A golf club is for all members who should all abide by the same rules and have the same privileges.

The view of they can book in the middle of the regular "event" but no-one does because they know better etc is appalling

Was me who said that, when I thought they blocked off the prime times and weren't fully inclusive.

When we have comps the club has drawn comp times from 8.00-10.00 and our roll up (Or the Sunday version if the comps that day) don't go out as we're all playing in the comp so the problem is self fixing. If you don't want to play the competition then you're not playing between 8.00 and 10.00 unless you go off the 10th anyway

Our sweep doesn't get a block booking however 10 people book 10 slots when the tee times open, these 10 people mix their playing groups up every week and are happy to take anyone who wants to join and actively encourage the new breed in.

What is wrong with that?

It's block booking. Not everyone wants to join in and are happy to play their own 1/2/3/4 ball
 
the pole should have asked if you would prefer a tee booking system or a rock up play type club.
 
It would be interesting to know that out of all the people that voted in favour of a booking system, how many of them have been members of a club in the past that didn't have a booking system.

Maybe in a lot of cases they like it because they have never had it any other way? I remember loads of new courses opening up in the 90's advertising advance tee booking as a 'benefit'. They were all proprietary courses that were happy to fill unused times with fee paying visitors.

I came from a club that had a "rock up and play" set up, to join one with a BRS system. It wasn't my reason for leaving, but now I've seen both systems in operation, I can say without doubt that I prefer the Tee booking system hands down.. That's not to say that everyone will, but I definitely do..

I play a few times per week, predominantly mid week and have a relatively short space of time in which to play. I work nights so I have to tee off after 10:30. But, I have to pick the kids up at 15:15.. Booking a tee time means that I know exactly when I'll be teeing off and what time I should be finishing..

I've also turned up on spec several times and just popped into the Pro shop, let him know I'll be teeing off ASAP and gone out. I know when the course is likely to be busy and I avoid those times.. Works really well for me...:thup:
 
Is that really all you have?

Pathetic, but not surprising.

What I posted answered your post with as much detailed as was required

If you wanted the poll to say something else then you should have started your own poll
