You wait until the green is clear, hit your shot, chip and putt then drive up to the next tee box only to wait for the foursome ahead of you to start to tee off. I don't want to hear the most stupid answer that we are playing to fast! The fact is that they are over booking the system with 9 hole players.

With using the wave system, it is simple math. Most courses have approximately a 2 hour 10 minute minute pace of play for 9 holes. The morning wave runs from 7:28-9:28am. If you tee off at 7:28 and play in 90 minutes (complete front nine at 8:58am), you will wait approximately 35-40 minutes until you can tee off on the 10th hole, as you need to wait for the morning wave to complete the 9:28 tee time. So unfortunately, playing too fast is often not a good thing. Ambassadors try to insure everyone is keeping pace with the group in front of them as well as making sure they are playing within the pace of play guidelines (which are listed on the scorecard).
