TeeTimeMaker

This app takes future tee time reservation requests, then executes an actual tee time booking with the golf course when appropriate. This is necessary because the golf course tee time software opens the tee sheet at 7am 3 days before a weekend tee time. So, for example, if you know that you want to play on Saturday at 9am the coming week, but it's currently only Monday, you can't make a tee time until Wednesday at 7AM. This is inconvenient for multiple reasons, not the least of which is a) you will forget to do this on Wednesday and b) you may not be awake at 7am. And, of course, if you don't get in right at 7am, you will definitely not get a 9am tee time as those will all be reserved by 7:01am on Wednesday.

The basic idea is this:

• accept future tee time requests for valid users arbitrarily far in the future
• when the tee sheet opens, fire an event to book it with the club
• use the user's credentials to log in and make the reservation

The UI is being built in React (see bbelow). Still incomplete, so in the meantime, use the API.

The API lets you:

• create/update a user's credentials (userid and password) for the booking site (this is what the app uses to log in and book the tee time when the sheet opens)
• make a future reservation, specifying time, course preferences, and playing partners
• list the reservations you have pending
• delete or modify reservations you've made in the past
• search for other members (so you can add them as playing partners)

Behind the scenes, reservation data is stored in Cloudant. This allows the app to recover pending reservations if/when it is restarted.

The real heavy lifting for booking the tee time is done with a separate service named teetimepwccjs. This is a Javascript REST service that interacts with the PWCC site.
