So does that not mean that your course is full up with a booking system and has spare capacity without one?

No everyone just shifts their tee time by a few minutes to accommodate me.:thup: 100 plus golfers all booked in from 8.00 until 12.00, and I want to play at 10.00 I don't get a game. 100 plus golfers turn up through the morning, I want to play at 10.00, perhaps wait a few minutes, and I get a game.:whoo: For some reason at my Club all the golfers that want to play in the morning don't all turn up at the same time.

Without calling anyone a liar because I'm sure everything posted is an honest and sincere opinion, I very much doubt that ALL new members are made aware of and welcomed into many of these roll ups.....

They certainly are at our place - organisers of the roll ups go to welcome meetings and also have their names given to new members so they can get in touch
Some of the organisers actively phone new members to invite them to join if they wish

The ladies Prob even more so by the ladies section and the juniors have their weekly games between them
Ladies at our place play on a Tuesday and juniors can't play before a certain time at weekend.

So basically you'd be miffed that you can't get the time you always want because another member has booked that time???? Perhaps those members always wanted that time but couldn't because you had booked it?..
What is good for one member should be good for another

Why can't the juniors have equal rights to tee times as the men, ladies and seniors?

The ladies are approached by their roll ups and the junior can't play in the ones at the weekend due to the club rules but some have played during the week during school holidays
One lady plays odd occasion on a Saturday with us but the make up of the club is the ladies play on Tuesday ( historically and they are happy with that ) - they have their own roll ups also on a Thursday
Juniors have played but don't join in the money side
Both ladies and juniors are at the welcome meetings

What if the lady in question had a job ?
.... Unlikely I know. I did hear a rumour one of our roll ups discussed limiting numbers by making it 18 hc and below, and I played in our midweek roll up once, they were mostly seniors and not really that welcoming. That said I know a few of them now and they're ok, but they weren't fussed about a new member joining them.

Serious question.

They play at the weekend - there are a few at the club but not very many - it's mainly an older ladies section.

Definitely at our place. It's part of the introductory literature and never heard of anyone being turned away. Think there would be merry hell (rightly) if it happened

Why ?
It's what the members voted for historically and no one has asked for it to be changed

Women and juniors too? Or is yours another club that prefers them playing during the week?

Like I said, I've told the pro and secretary to give any new members my number if they want a game Saturday mornings. The RAGC captain is an active member of the Sunday roll up and always on the look out to make sure new members are integrated into the club and without exception, every new member that shows up or calls me is welcomed unreservedly into the roll-up.
You may be doubtful because of your experience at other clubs (?) but I can honestly say that from my 4 years at RAGC that I have never seen a new member not welcomed to one of our roll-ups. Indeed, my own experience at RAGC and at Blackmoor where I joined on my own has been nothing but positive.

They are being treated differently and no doubt expected to behave like "adults".
If it was me and I was in my teens (the black & white days) then I would not be happy to join a club with that system
