Slots open up at 6 a.m. for golfing nine days ahead. And every morning, in a matter of seconds, the reservations for these prime city courses in Griffith Park and on the Westside disappear on the city’s online booking platform, GolfNow. Golfers say that without using a broker, they get tee times primarily through last-minute cancellations or a waitlist, where they must stand by in person from five minutes to several hours. Sometimes the list doesn’t get tapped at all.

If this happened at a course near me, I would get banned from some courses for sure… It’s barely affordable as is, and now rich people are using brokers to snag tee times? Fuck that.
I would just sneak in between holes, and play into each person’s game. Every ball I come accross is getting rocketed into the woods. If anyone asks, I will just say I am with another group. If the golf course asks who I am, I will give them a name I heard when first coming in and then try to do the same shit another day until they have a picture of my face pinned to their wall…
