10.3 and 3.1 How to push Tee Times out by X minutes to account for Weather Delays
Problem
Is there a utility or some other way to push tee times out to account for weather delays?
Solution
Yes. The Tee Time Adjustment program provides this functionality and allows you to push out tee times by a set number of minutes for a range of golf courses on one date, beginning at a given time. You would use this program in the event something impacts your tee times on a given day, such as a weather delay due to morning frost or a thunderstorm, etc.
For Example: At 2:07pm lightning is reported at your golf course and you suspend play. The All Clear is given at 2:35pm, a delay of 28 minutes. Just prior to resuming play, you would use this program to push your tee times 28-30 minutes so that members whose tee times were disallowed during the suspension could tee off in the proper order of the tee sheet.
To Run the Tee Time Adjustment Program
1. In RecTrac 3.1, go to Golf Course Management (Management Ribbon Golf Management Golf Course Management, in the Standard VSI Design).
2.Click the Tee Time Adjustmentt button at the bottom of the DataGrid. You will continue to the Tee Time Adjustment program.
3. Click the Picklist buttons for Begin and End Course to select the range of golf courses for which you wish to push tee times.
4. Accept the default entry in the Date to Adjust field ('today's' date) or click the Calendar icon to select an alternate date, if needed.
5. Enter a Starting Time. This is time at which you wish to begin pushing your tee times. Using the example above, you might enter 2:10pm, which is the time that coincides with the first scheduled tee time after play was suspended at/around 2:07pm.
6. Enter a value in the Push Out Tee Time by (Minutes) field. This is the number of minutes by which you wish to push tee times. Using the example above, you might enter '30' in this field because the weather delay lasted 28 minutes.
7. Click Process when ready. The program runs on the AppServer. The Notification Center will alert you when the process completes. Return to your Tee Sheet and refresh it to see the results. Using the examples above, all tee times for the day would be adjusted by 30 minutes beginning with the 2:10pm Tee Time. The 2:10pm tee time would be pushed to 2:40pm. The 2:17pm tee time would be pushed to 2:47pm. The 2:25pm tee time would be pushed to 2:55, etc
8. Repeat as needed for additional golf courses or days or click the X button on the upper right-hand corner of the screen to return to Golf Course Management.
Notes: You must be running RecTrac 3.1.04.39 or greater to use this feature. RecTrac 10.3 and previous: go to Period End Golf Tee Time Adjustment. The functionality is the same.
