I have no problem with letting other faster players go ahead of me at any tee.

Is this an issue? Is it normal? I would think with this many "old" people, some would be slower than others.
Listen to the Ambassadors. If you have a question on course, ask an Ambassador. Tee times are set, don't let anyone play through without the OK from an Ambassador. believe it or not, there is some order to the way things are done and the way Ambassadors do their job, contrary to the belief of some. Usually on an exec there shouldn't be any reason to let someone play through, especially in the winter when courses are more crowded.
