Step-by-Step:

Step 1: Click on the Tee Sheet module along the top row.

Step 2: On the tee sheet, you can either click and drag the time range (e.g., 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM for an 18-hole shotgun), select Shotgun Start, and the system will calculate the player capacity (e.g., 112 players), apply your turn time (e.g., 2 hours), and block the course as needed.

OR

Create a shotgun by right-clicking a start time, right-click on a specific time (e.g., 9:00 AM) and select Add Shotgun, enter your player count (e.g., 100 players). Jonas Synergy calculates the end time automatically (e.g., 1:10 PM for 100 players, taking up ~25 tee times).

Step 3: Enter shotgun details.

• Name the shotgun (e.g., “Spring Tournament” or “Shotgun Training”).
• Choose 18 holes or 9 holes.
• Set the Online Display Start Time if you want it to show a clean 9:00 AM even when tee slots technically begin at 8:56 AM.

Save and confirm.

Step 4: Once saved, the shotgun displays on the tee sheet and appears in the booking engine.

In the booking engine, players will only see the shotgun start (e.g., “9:00 AM Shotgun”) and the sheet reopens automatically once the shotgun has finished (e.g., 1:10 PM).

Step 5: Manage course flow with Blocks.

• To prevent conflicts, you may need to add:
• No Online Bookings in front of the shotgun.
• 9 Holes Only blocks if certain groups will finish early.
• OT Times Blocks if you need to fully restrict outside play.

Step 6: Adjust player counts as needed. - Right click on the shotgun, and select Edit.

• If fewer players register than expected, update the shotgun size (e.g., from 100 to 64 players).
• The system automatically shrinks the blocked range, reopening later tee times (e.g., opening 11:40 AM slots for normal booking).
  
  
  

Step 7: Booking into a shotgun.

• Members can book just like a regular tee time, selecting the shotgun slot and choosing their number of players (1–4).
• The system fills slots sequentially (e.g., showing 9:00 AM but internally assigning 9:10 or 9:20).

• Always use the Online Display Start Time to keep your event start clean and consistent for members.
• If you don’t want outside play interfering, add appropriate blocks before and after the shotgun.
• Monitor registrations — adjusting the shotgun size on the day of the event can open up valuable tee times for general play.
• Remember that the system fills in shotgun slots sequentially, so even if players see “9:00 AM,” they may actually be placed into the 9:10 or 9:20 slot — the system handles this automatically.
