TeeTimeEtiquette
WGLSeasonPointRace
Tee time etiquette is just as important as golf course etiquette and there is more to managing your tee time than just booking that time. With our course being so busy, it is important that the member making the tee time reservation take ownership of that time. Here are a few things that can be done to make sure your tee time is well managed:
Book tee times when you plan to actually use them, not as an option to play.
Only use names of members that are actually planning to play. It is understandable that names may change between when the reservation is made and when actual play takes place. However, correct names should be designated for all tee times no later than 48 hours prior to scheduled play. If you don't know who will play, do you need the tee time?
Manage the time! If players change or drop off, make those changes accordingly. If you have only 3 players, make sure there are only 3 names on your time. This will allow other members to possibly find a game.
Make sure all of your players are aware of the correct time. On day of play, all players must check into the pro shop at least 10 minutes prior to start of play.
Cancellation of tee time reservations should be made as soon as it is known the time is not needed.
Failure to cancel your time or check in and register with the Pro Shop for a reserved starting time will be charged a penalty fee.
The standings change weekly and can be found on Golf Genius.
