I can certainly understand not playing through if the course is full (to just run upon another group), but during slower times if there's an empty hold ahead I see little reason not to allow this. Perhaps this is an opportunity for enhancement of the tracking system.

But in search of a justification of the system, perhaps not allowing players to play through is better than the alternative where many would be complaining that some group in front of them was slow and rude for not letting them play through. Perhaps the system of not allowing is better to avoid conflicts even though it works pretty well everywhere else.
