Citations handed out to record warnings. Third citation, banned for 1 month from all Villages courses. Fourth citation, banned for 1 year. Fifth citation, take up another game, sell your clubs. You are done golfing in TV.
Dump the title Ambassador in favor of Course Officers, and give them some authority. If the miscreants are aware that they are going to be held accountable, be prepared to back it up and be prepared to make a few examples of a few idiots before you get proper decorum on the course.

Not being contrary on purpose, but I just think none of that will happen because it is not in line with the deep psychology of the "business" end of the villages. Those suggestions would more closely reflect a situation where the priority is the residents, not the business aspects. In an average city, town, or villages, this changes with the WISHES of the residents. This is a completely different configuration. Again, not saying your suggestion that the "ambassadors" work in pairs for their own security is worthless, not at all, but I'd like to point out that while people can be very confrontational (and/or very drunk), the marshal's at our former country club, and the marshals on our local PUBLIC courses never worked in pairs, and yes, they did encounter some "entitled" country club members (as in Groundhog Day and comic films), and often belligerent drunks on public courses, never seemed to have two marshals ! ? The marshal is the marshal, that was it. But so much is needed here and just marshals alone as a first step would save a ton of $$$.
