As a newbie wearing a green shirt, let me chime in here. First, I only read the first few, and last few, pages of this thread, but many of you are correct. Ambassadors will enforce play, although mainly on the Champ courses. For the main reasons stated here. There's really no place to put people, and with 9 holes, the damage is already done(and play finished), by the time we try to intervene. For the Champs, same as some answers here. It's the clock. They're timed to the minute(of Tee-off). And they will be spoken to, multiple times, if necessary, before we call out a Mgr. But, just because a group behind them is playing faster, does not mean they have to play as fast. Lots of amateur/novice golfers in TV. As for letting them thru(like up north), with the wave system, it's hard to do. Bottom line, if you're thinking you're going to "jump on as a single or two-some, and scream thru", you'll want to find a less crowded time(s). Cheers! Drink the Kool-Aid, and perhaps something else in it, and enjoy!
