It's not that simple. If an ambassador sees that a group is holding up play, they should say something. They also should look at the time the group started and see where they are on the golf course. It's pretty easy to compute nine minutes per hole, giving and extra four minutes for a par four. If the group is on pace and the group in front of them is way out in front, the group in front is playing faster than normal.

If there is no one behind them, why is there a need to say anything?

The same thing would apply if the group was on pace and the group behind them was playing faster than the normal accepted pace. In that case, the if there is no one in front, the faster group should be invited to play through.
I agree. Only concern yourself to keep pace with the group in front of you. Never focus on the four some behind you worrying about getting to the 19th hole for the start of happy hour! Some things are blown far out of proportion.
