Your BUDDY LIST is a list of players that you often play with on a regular basis. It can be any number of members. This feature makes your booking of tee times easier and quicker. You can create your iGolf BUDDY LIST by going to the drop down menu in the “hamburger” () in the upper right corner of the Teesheet screen and clicking on BUDDY LIST. You enter a player name in your Buddy List by typing the first 3 letters of the last name and choose your buddy’s name from a dropdown list of members. Highlight and click on the name and it is brought over to your BUDDY LIST. When you enter iGolf to make a tee time, this list is brought up as a starting list for assembling your group.  Click on the names of the people you want in your group and click SAVE BOOKING in the upper left and your tee time is made.

Once the Equitable Draw (lottery) has run for the upcoming month and times have been published, or after you have hit SAVE BOOKING if signing up after the lottery has been completed, no one other than you can change it.  Other members that you signed up in your group can delete themselves but no one else. You have the ability, as the BOOKING Member, to delete anyone in your group or the entire group. A system ADMINISTRATOR can go in and make changes but will only do so at your request.

A BOOKING MEMBER is the member that books a tee time for up to 4 players.  When you enter a time cell, your name is automatically placed in the first slot. So, there is no need to enter yourself again. You can hit SAVE BOOKING to reserve for yourself alone or continue to assemble a group (2, 3, or 4 players) then hit SAVE BOOKING.  The BOOKING MEMBER can enter and can delete the group or any member of the group.

You have a couple of options. You can either enter the Equitable Draw (Lottery) as a single, or wait until the Equitable draw for the month is completed and then find an available slot on the tee sheet at a time convenient to you and enter your name. To be better assured of getting a time convenient to you, entering the Equitable Draw is recommended. The monthly open entry period is typically a Sunday-Tuesday period about 2 weeks prior to beginning of a month,

After the lottery has run for a particular month, tee sheets will remain open until the Thursday before the upcoming week of play.  If you want to look for a single slot or change the assignment you received for a particular date, you access the tee sheet and look for a time with an open slot (the time will be dark green when a slot or slots are open). Click on that tee time and you will be placed in the vacant slot. You hit SAVE BOOKING and you are confirmed.

The system will tell you that the time slot is locked. This means that someone accessed the time slot before you and is making tee times. They have 4 minutes to make and save their bookings. Once they have left, the time slot will reopen, and if the time is still dark green you will be able to enter but will only be able to make tee times for the remaining open slots.

When a lottery is completed, the results will be viewable in iGolf and members will be notified via email that the tee sheets are posted.  You can always see what tee times you’ve received by going to the “hamburger” menu () in iGolf and checking the My Teetimes link. You will be notified of any changes or cancellations in your group. You will also receive a reminder email about the booking several days prior to playing.

The process of opening the Tee Sheets is now handled through an Equitable Draw (lottery) system. Approximately 2 weeks before the first of a new month we will unlock the play days you can sign up for. We will unlock the entire month at that time, typically 8 or 10 dates per month. You will be advised by EMAIL of the opening date and time of the lottery.  Typically, bids for the lottery are accepted from 9 am Sunday through 5 pm Tuesday.  The Lottery is run Tuesday evening and results posted in iGolf on Wednesday afternoon.  After posting lottery results, tee sheets remain open until noon on the Thursday before the upcoming week of play so those who did not participate in the lottery can enter their name(s) in open slots on the tee sheet.  Once closed the tee sheets are forwarded to the course so preparations can be made for our upcoming play.  If you want to make changes or add your name to a tee sheet after it is locked, you must contact our Golf Coordinator – Bob Odmark.

You could notify the BOOKING MEMBER (who signed you up) and they can remove you. You can go on the Tee Sheet and remove yourself. Go to the iGolf login on the Arlington Seniors website (arlingtonseniorsgolfclub.org) and go to the date booked. You will see your name with a red X next to it. Simply hit the X and your name is removed. You will notice that you are not able to delete anyone else but yourself.

A guest can be invited to play twice a month. They must play in the group with the BOOKING MEMBER. When you are in the Booking screen, below the MEMBERS list is a space to sign up a guest. A dropdown menu will allow you to enter their name, email address and gender. You then hit ADD GUEST and then hit Save Booking when you’re finished. If they need to cancel, you will be responsible for deleting them.
