This is a big problem and the Ambassadors/Starters are powerless to do much about it. Especially since the women players will call the golf office and complain about the rude Ambassador. Out of fear nothing is done about this growing problem.

Women leaders need to speak up, then lead by suggestion and example. Perhaps a yellow card needs to be issued to slow play group members and they cannot play again until attending a Good Golf or Ready Golf session.


In December of '14 on your first post you inquired if people walked the golf courses and now a little over six months later you have concluded women are causing the slow play.


I had to look up what "Cavalier" meant, but now I know.

I am a huge advocate of keeping the pace of play, but I don't think it is one gender more than another causing the delays.
