Well, if you think about #2 a bit, you might come to the conclusion that if nearly "every" golfer is slow, the standard for what is slow is off quilter. We can't all be above average, but we can't all be below average either.
Which is why a "time par" is valuable. "Fast" and "Slow" are relative terms. A time par sheet is not subjective. You are ether "on time" or you are not.
I've never been an ambassador, but I would think it would make their job easier. No need to be nasty, just informative.
