Pretty poor if committee members are rigging the system, they should be setting an example.
Tee time booking and restrictions on how many times a week you can book

Pretty poor if committee members are rigging the system, they should be setting an example.
same at ours, still quite a few at ours, who have two times a day every day, theres a little group of juniors, don't know how they managed it have 3 times next to each other twice a day for the first week, they had it for the 2nd week too, but all those booking have since been cancelled.
The system can restrict this if set up properly, ours blocks us if we try to book consecutive days or more than 3 times a week, the only way we can play more is if there are free slots on the day and we ring up and claim them through the pro shop.
Shouldn’t they just. Unfortunately our captain and vice captain are setting the tone. They always play their social golf together, and are pre-booking an adjacent time each, with the second name within each time simply showing “reserved”. It then allows them to get a small group together with their mates slow time, rather than their mates having to join to the 7am stampede with the rest of us.
The easiest way to resolve it would be if BRS insisted on two names in each booking to confirm that booking. I’m not sure it can be tweaked to that extent.

Yes, IG seems to be a lot more workable for those controlling it it seems.
not sure how much can be done with ours, we have our own system, through it can do some thngs, the sheer amount of double bookings till live shows they are struggling for someone to do it manual. i think there was talk of going to what everyone else uses in time for the new handicap system at the end of the year.

All new members are told that these collections of players draw cards at 7.30 for one group and 11 the other. Of course there are smaller groups of players who play amongst themselves, like mine, but like everyone else we all wait our turn for the tee

Well, that was a manic start to the day. Almost all Saturday and Sunday slots gone within 5 minutes
Same at my awsy club, was hoping to play on Saturday, but wasn’t quick enough.
Bit disappointed that members are able to book more than 1 tee time though ?

We can only book one tee time, not on consecutive days, and no more than 2 slots a week.
We had a lot of new playing members join us last year when a local course closed so a lot of demand.

Had a look on BRS last night. One particularly obnoxious loudmouth has tee times booked for Monday, Wednesday and Thursday when he is only allowed to book one. Should I mention this to someone?
Yes, why not, otherwise not only will he keep doing it, others will follow suit.
Absolutely. We have any number of members whose attitude at the moment is that, as they pay their fees, the club can’t dictate when they can and cannot play.
Actually, the club can and should.

We had similar issues at our club, and the committee have quickly addressed it, advising that further instances will result in the offenders having their BRS access revoked & would therefore need to phone pro shop to book a time.

Got Saturday mid morning club have asked us to only book one slot over the first weekend, which is clearly being ignored. Selfish bassas.

Alas, it’s a handful of committee members at our place who are causing most of the problems by abusing their privileges.
I know IG can, Cant see why any system can’t be.
It might be a software upgrade that clubs have to pay extra for, as in add-ons’, so some might just ride rough shot through it and ignore the grumbles.
The problem is you can bypass that as people are at ours. As I have said, if you’re restricted to two tee times a week, a regular 2-ball, booking two times each in their own name without adding in details of the second player, immediately allows that 2-ball four games a week.
Club officials and pro shop staff need to be alive to who is doing what because people are finding ways to bypass restrictions.

This is what our Club has introduced Wills, hope itworks
2) Change - from Monday 25th May the number of live bookings available to members, in any 7 day period, will increase from 1 to 2. BRS bookings will continue to be monitored to ensure this courtesy, of 2 live bookings, is adhered to.
3) Change – from Friday 29th May any player making a single booking via BRS will, by default, make their booked tee time available to a second player/member who will join, via BRS, without permission of the original single player booker. This is to increase the overall utilisation and participation on the tee/course (ie 2 balls are more effective at meeting member demand than 1 balls).
4) Change – However, also from Friday 29th May, persons requiring to play as a single player, without a partner, are requested NOT to utilise BRS for this booking but to arrange this via the Club Office. The Office will allocate your time on BRS and close this to other members (ie booking a single in this manner means you will play as a single).
