There have been many cases where golfers lose their golfing privileges for periods up to one year for not following the Ambassadors instructions or causing possible harm to others.

When approaching a group that is seriously out of position to suggest that they pick up their pace of play, most people comply. The arrogant players verbally attack the Ambassador for doing his job and always say that it's the group in front of them that's causing the slow play - (never mind that there are two holes open in front of them). Most Ambassadors work very hard to ensure that the course is well maintained, that people have enough water and sand, and that play is moving along. We are responsible for the management of the course.

When I see a person hitting multiple balls when there are groups directly behind them, I'll "politely" ask that they only play one ball so that others can enjoy their round. Some people seem to think that the executive courses are designed for practicing. THEY ARE NOT! They're there to be PLAYED! So, when you're putting for your 10th stroke on a par three, or looking for golf balls by the water, or giving instructions to another golfer, we ask that you be cognizant of your fellow golfers that are patiently waiting behind you.

The Ambassadors are there to support you so that you can enjoy your round of golf. We ask that you Respect the Game and have consideration for others behind you.

Thank you!
