I guess I disagree with you on that one. When I call a business and ask them to put a product on hold for me, and I'll come get it later on, I don't mind them getting some form of security from me.

Especially for golf. Nothing is worse than what the city's reservation system was like a couple of years ago. Try to book golf for a group on a Friday, nope- it's all full. I go down by myself hoping to walk on joining a group of 3, not only is there no problem walking on, but now I get to golf by myself as there's no groups to join; nobody showed up.
