Likewise. However, if the course isn't jammed up, I'd much rather let the single go, if he/she so desires. I don't find it relaxing having them back there. I like the system here, where it's forbidden. Just keep your pace, and you don't have to worry about whether they want to play through. Some folks, especially beginners, hate playing through. They get really nervous about it, and would rather wait back there than play a golf shot or two in front of an audience.
I've hit enough bad shots in front of enough strangers that it no longer bothers me, but I get it.
