TeeTimeHelper supports large events and outings

TeeTimeHelper offers support for shotgun events and general RSVP's.

In order to facilitate organizing these larger groups TeeTimeHelper now does more checking to avoid potential problems. For example, we now check for duplicate events which can avoid time consuming corrections.

Also, we are now showing a progress bar when an operation can take longer so the organizer can see that TeeTimeHelper is still processing the request and not abort or reload the web page.

Both of these enhancements will help organizer easily create events and provide more user feedback as the event is created and administered.

Randomize golf groups improved

We have dramatically improved the randomization of tee times for TeeTimeHelper. In the past the algorithm simply filled the tee times to the maximum number allowed in each group with the partial groups at the end. This resulted in smaller groups scheduled to go out after the full groups which probably results in slower play.

We have now made it so the smaller groups go out first. Also, if the number of golfers evenly divides into the number of tee times we use that so the groups move around hopefully at the same pace.  For example, if you have 6 players and 2 tee times we will group them as 3 and 3 instead of 2 and 4.

Also, before submitting we will tell you how many people will be in each group so when you do randomize your golf event there will be no surprises .. except for who is playing together!

Happy golfing,
