The groups that slow down the course have a great day while every group behind them has a miserable day waiting and waiting and waiting.

I agree with the previous poster. I am not sure it would be wise to give Ambassadors more power.
As an example, I recently played an 18 hole course. The 7th hole is a par 3. As we drove up, there was a group still on the green with the ambassador beside the green waiting. The group cleared the green within a minute of us arriving at the tee box and we teed off and drove up beside the ambassador who made a comment about us needing to play faster. This guy clearly had no clue what was going on around him. He was looking only looking at a time sheet I am sure. We can not play faster than the group in front. Go talk to the people leading the wave (and certainly do not wait on the 7th hole to say something to that group). They probably needed a reminder on the 3rd or 4th hole.
Since Covid turned over many of the Ambassadors, I find those remaining are mostly very poor at controlling the pace of play or even having much of a clue about golf. I asked 2 recently what the Stimp numbers were. They did not even know what a Stimpmeter is.
