When my group is assigned a fourth player we are clear that some in the group are just learning and the individual can stay to play with us or leave. No one has ever left us and each “outsider” so far seems to have enjoyed our company. We try our best. That is what the executive courses were intended for.

Other are concerned about it, because all you don't know about golf, is coming through loud and clear. Folks who don't know anything about golf, seem to think their job on a golf course, is to stay ahead of the folks behind them. That's not the case. Your responsibility is to keep up to the folks in front of you ... not "play in an allotted time".
"When your group is assigned another player"? Get off your high horse and entitled attitude. Your group isn't "assigned" anything. You're playing a public course, that everyone has the exact same rights to, as you or your group. I'm sure the other players "assigned" to your group, go home and tell their friends about the "group he got stuck with".
If I was "assigned" to your group, the second you told me you were taking mulligans at will and using the golf course for "practice", I'd be on my way to see the head Professional at whatever Championship course managed the Exec you were on.
If you want to "practice" on a golf course, show up at 5:45 and just maybe, they'll be no one around to explain how golf courses operate. In the meantime, please reserve your practice for the driving ranges, that's what they're for.
