Winged Foot does not let member book tee times…instead they do this

So, Winged foot is obviously a prestigious course in NY. First of all, They do not have carts, which obviously means everyone is a walker. No phones outside of the locker room, and it is expected that all rounds are done in less than 4 hours. (Wouldn’t that be nice). One of the more peculiar things that Winged Foot does though is not let members make tee times. Instead what is done, is that once a group has all 4 of their players on the property, a player walks up to the first tee and places a ball on the tee box. obviously if you go up and there are already 2 other balls up there, you will now be the 3rd group to tee off and so on. Pretty cool system if you ask me, Maybe we will try this at an LFG event.
These greens are insane, and the course is ridiculous. Can’t imagine how easy it is to play this course in under 4 hours.
