UNSOLD PROMOTIONAL RATE
In order to sell more rounds, cteate more revenue for the Parties, and more regularly promote golf to the Grantor Hotel customers, the Golf Resort General Manager may offer rounds that are coming up soon (e.g. same daylnext day) that the General Manager believes the Operator would not otherwise sell. For example, on a Tuesday afternoono the Operator has four afternoon rounds on the next day (Wednesday) that likely will not get sold. In such a case, the General Manager may communicate these times to one or both of the Grantor Hotels, and the Grantor Hotels, in turn, would offer to sell them to their guests.
