Waiting List?
It's getting to be that time of year
again..... Helpful hints to facilitate a successful, smooth season for all November 19, 2009 If you checked the website early on the morning of Tuesday November 16th, you would have seen that 28 players were registered to play in the 2-Day event Wednesday-Thursday at Abacoa. By noon, we had 51 players registered and started a waiting list, and by 6 pm there were 10 players on that list. 33 players decided to sign up (or at least try to) on the day before the event. While this works the majority of the time during the summer (when the courses are empty) during the season it does not. You need to register for an event as soon as you know you want to play in it, because this time of year tee times are valuable and scarce. Here is a typical scenario: The MLGT books 15-20 tee times months in advance. 2-3 days before the event---the course checks our registered player list and their tee sheet. If our signup is light, they will start taking back our tee times and booking them with member or public play. They do this because we can not guarantee the tee times and be charged for rounds not played, and they need to ensure revenue. Additionally, they charge more to the public AND those players usually spend more money on food, drinks, and merchandise then we do. So it is easy to understand why filling tee times with those players is more desirable to the golf course. Our best way to combat this problem is to sign up early. If we are full 2-3 days before the event---we may be able to get MORE tee times and have a bigger event. Otherwise, the longer players wait to register, the greater the chances our field sizes will be reduced! So, if you know you want to play in a single MLGT event, a single QUEST event or Series, get on the registered player list. This will help manage and grow the field sizes, resulting in a better tour for the players and stronger relationships with our host courses. |
