There was a foursome ready to tee off after us, so we had them tee off before us. No one was behind us. My GD is going to play high school golf this year. By the time we were on the third fairway the people in front of us were two holes ahead. Still no one behind. Also by that time the course ambassador had visited us twice telling us to speed up. When he visited us at the 4th tee (still no one behind) my Granddaughter became so anxious she was literally sick. We left the course and took her back to our house. She understands pace of play and it would have been an issue had we held someone up. We didn't. After paying $11 to play and $4 to ride (twice) AND obeyed all of the Rules of Golf, I wonder about America's Friendliest Home Town. I love TV, but I'm not sure about the title.
Play here often???

The ambassadors go by the times printed on the scorecard, he would have told you the same thing if it was a foursome of 60 somethings. It has nothing to with anybody behind you. Just what do you consider "unfriendly" about enforcing the rules?
