Default Golf Ambassadors

I disagree with a few of the posts. There are at times issues with slow play on Executive courses, but it is not the norm. These courses are offered to Villagers as free golf and the courses are set up in different levels for all to enjoy. The majority of executives allow 1 hour and 45 minutes to play 9 holes. If pace of play is far behind. You will know when you check in with the starter, because your tee time will be pushed back. That RARELEY happens!

There will AWAYS be a few groups that have difficulty meeting the time pace. As for the poor golf etiquette that goes on the careless golfers. But to condem every Ambassador for those rare issues and label them "Glorified Water Boys" is insulting and inappropriate.

The Champion courses are available and pace of play is closely monitored to ensure the wave is able to keep tee times on time. The majority of golfers on Championship courses are good golfers and follow golf etiquette. Of course there will always be the 1% who don't. So if the pace of play is that oppressive to your golfing enjoyment then becoming a priority golfer just might be in your interest.
