10 Group Request Processing A Group Request is used when you want to request a tee time for more than a foursome. There are a couple of ways to create Group Requests. You can set up a single request if you have anywhere from 5 to 32 players. Problems arise in the winter months when tee times are tight and some of the players have lots of points. The point weight becomes a factor. With this method, all of the players' points become a factor in getting a reservation. There is a second way to create a Group Request where you can create multiple requests of smaller groups and group the players so that the players in each request are matched so they have fewer points as a request group. The restriction on this type of group request is that you have to be a member of the first group and the remaining requests must be for the exact same day and times and the same course selections. Using this method, there is no guarantee that all of the groups will play, or play on the same courses but the groups that play will play at the same time. Once the request becomes a reservation, you cannot add players to the Group. Anyone who wants to add themselves can do so with their own Villages.Net account or by automated phone system. If someone or more than one golfer in your group cancels and you want to rearrange the order of the players, you cannot do that online. You may call the Golf Tee Time Office, , they can manually change the order. 10

17 Definitions Request - A tee time request is information entered by you that will be used to schedule tee times anywhere from four to seven days out from the current date. The request may be rejected if no times are available for the courses and play window you have requested. Reservation - After a request has been assigned an actual tee time, it becomes a reservation that will be printed on the tee sheets. Reservations may also be made within the immediate three days following the current date. Template - You may create templates to be stored on the system. They are NOT requests or reservations, but are used to create tee time requests. Templates are used to ease the creation of requests when you have several diverse groups for whom you arrange tee times. Tournament Registration - You can register online for the Tuesday Men s/ladies Day Championship and Executive course tournaments. You may register as a player or a substitute. If you already have a request or a reservation for that day, you will not be able to register for a tournament. Browser - A browser is the program you use to communicate with the Internet. The Tee Time System works best with recent versions of Internet Explorer. You may change the size of the characters with your browser (see the help text for your browser). Wave The method used to schedule available tee times on the championship courses the vast majority of the time. Waves refer to the time tee times are available. The morning wave begins at 7:28 and ends at 9:28. The afternoon wave begins at 11:56 and ends at 1:56. There are no tee times between the waves or after the afternoon wave. Therefore, if you request a tee time between 9:30 and 11:50, you ll never receive a tee time. Waves are sometimes referred to as double tee starts or crossovers at other golf courses outside The Villages. 17
