How to get a tee time at St Andrews? There are a few ways of getting a tee time on the Old Course at St Andrews: Option 1: Purchasing a guaranteed time. Select tour operators offer guaranteed tee times one-to-two years prior to play. These guaranteed tee times are generally more expensive than those obtained through the Application process described below, through the Ballot or by Standing-By, also described below. Option 2: Apply through the annual lottery in late-August of the year prior to play. The key is to start your planning early and to have your group names known by July / August. Results of the lottery are announced toward the end of October. This is a guaranteed tee time; however, St Andrews receives many more applications than they have available tee times. Option 3: A Tee Time by Ballot or Stand-by. This option is known as the “ballot.” It is essentially a lottery that takes place daily for play two days ahead. While there is no guarantee of success, chances are quite reasonable, especially if you are to be in the St Andrews area for four or five days. We would enter your names into the ballot each day except Friday as the course is closed on Sundays and do it in such a way as to avoid conflict with tee times on other courses. Option 4: It is possible to walk-on to the Old Course. You can advise the starter that you wish to do so, and he’ll try and fit you in if and when an opportunity arises. Chances of getting on depend on the time of year and how early you arrive at the starter’s box.

If you're Tiger Woods, you're replacing wedges every week. For everyone else, you're probably not replacing them often enough. To maintain peak performance, consider swapping out your wedges every 12 to 36 months. Been way longer than that? Head into your closest GOLFTEC to test out the TaylorMade Hi-Toe or Callaway Opus wedges and see if they're right for you! Do you typically go for a high-bounce or low-bounce option? #Golf #GolfClubs #GOLFTEC

What is the best public golf cancelation policy we have seen among all our ~300 courses using Noteefy 🔔? Palm Beach County takes the prize. 👇 📈 Eric Garber, Eric Rein and the team have architected a fair, direct, policy that maximizes access, equity, and rounds. No shows are not acceptable when hundreds of other residents / public players would gladly pay rack rate for the time. They have an automated waitlist powered by Noteefy 🔔 in the foreUP Golf tee sheet which alerts golfers when cancelations occur. If someone no shows - it is $20 per person. The result is an incredible volume of rounds, minimal no shows, and happy golfers that know they have a fair shot. This is no different than going to a movie theater, where you will be charged if you no show. Same with a flight or hotel. I would love to see every operator use this approach. See it in action here: Eric and I will discuss on an upcoming episode of Revenue Alert!
