Clubs would make more money from social golfers, not an economically viable option sorry sir

Also no good at 'you/our' home track... as halfway is miles away... would need to play a hybrid round...
But yeah social groups pay good money for the early early slots...
If it's not getting tee time that stuffs you the waiting list always works well, or just rock on up in the morning you'll be off by 9am or after a couple no shows.
H'cap start 06 - 15 - Goal 06 - 10 - End 06 - 15
H'cap start 07 - 15 - Goal 07 - 12 - End 07 - 10
H'cap start 08 - 10 - Goal 08 - 9 - Now - 11 (10.5) - Best 9.1

How about 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th? Say a handful of tee times from 6:30 to 7:30am. That would work, wouldn't it? Imagine, playing a 9 hole comp, have a drink, and be home by 10am. Plus you don't have to risk your life crossing Wentworth Ave.

Could be done but social group money is a big thing.

Jono, how about those guys that tee off early and play 18 holes, what happens if they run into the 9 hole comp guys? Some clubs have dramas with early groups running into groups starting off the back nine tees.

Of course there are potential problems. However, if there are enough people interested in this type of competition, I think a compromise can be reached.

Jono. Other than Korean, most people doesn't take 6 hours to play 18 holes.

I find it surprising that the Koreans take that long, considering that they never wait for groups on other fairways to hit.
