I politely suggested what he really needed to do was to advise the group behind us of that, and tell them to relax and stop pushing us.
So before you get really impatient with the group in front, take a look at the clock and the card and evaluate how far behind the time par they really are. It may not be them who is too slow, but you who are in too much of a hurry.
I'm not saying that's always the case, but it often is.

I'm a huge advocate of "fast play" on the golf course and with an empty golf course, my friends and I can normally do 18 holes on a Championship Course in 3.5 hours, with a walking foursome. That said, you're 100% correct and an Ambassador should never speak to you about "pace of play", if you're maintaining the recommended/required time for the particular course you're on.
Just because someone behind you is waiting to make their shots, doesn't necessarily mean you're behind on the clock.
