THAT...is the key.
In my previous life, we had a group that had the standing first 4 starting times on Saturday's and Sunday's (sometimes out with the first group at 5:45AM)...that were
fivesomes (single digit, ready golfers).
The head pro was happy to put us out first, because he knew that we played fast enough that we would set a pace that would keep the course moving...for the rest of the day.
No one behind us ever had to wait and oftentimes we wouldn't even see the 5th group out...even if they were a threesome.
Every so often someone would whine and the pro would ask them if they were ever held up or had to wait on a shot and when they sheepishly said
"no"...he would ask them what their concern was then?
The 'Rangers' were also not shy about giving a warning, then making a group pick up and go to the next tee.
