There should not have been two holes open and many a time a player said that to me it just wasn't even close to being true. Does that make you a liar? Nope...you're just wound a bit too tight. While I hate the saying "it is what it is" it is appropriate and if you have a gripe stop whining here and complain to GMS or the championship course that the exec belongs.
Since you don't happen on this type of slow play all the time I'd reign in your indignant attitude and realize that the rules of golf do not strictly apply at courses where the USGA has no say. If you want faster play then head on over to the championship courses where the people who play for fun and socializing rarely spend any time. You'll still find folks hitting from the wrong tees, but the ambassadors will keep it moving.

Right from the horse's mouth. Thank you Fred.
