The most shocking thing I saw was that an ambassador on an execute course actually said something
At the bottom of the scorecard, there is a note stating that the pace of play for 9 holes is 90 minutes. That equates to 10 minutes per hole. If there are par fours on the course that needs to be adjusted. But since they run on 9 minute starting times, it's obviously expected that each group will play the first hole in 9 minutes. So 9X9 is 81 minutes. So they're giving to nine extra minutes for a lost ball or difficulty on one or two holes.

I agree about the ambassador. They basically are there to provide water and sand. They do almost nothing else.

This sounds like one guy who is a bit full of himself.
