But, if you need to be rewarded to do these things, bother the ambassadors with your accomplishments.

It's the "LOOK AT ME, I'VE FIXED SOMETHING, REWARD ME" attitude that irks me.

And yet you went into great detail (I mean seriously, who counts how many ball marks they fix or how much sand they use in a round?
) to describe your own 'good behavior?'
I have received about a dozen of these coupons in the last few years, but keep forgetting to turn them in.
I don't do it for the coupons (or to keep count), I do it because it's the thing that a considerate golfer does without even thinking about it.
As to the OP, I think it is left up to each Ambassador and it is more the 'luck of the draw' if they see something or choose to give you one.
Please don't stop doing the right thing though.....as the rest of us really appreciate it.
