They don't set up the course for play.
They don't give lessons.

They don't manage pace-of-play.
They don't promote the game.
(IMO)
I've never seen one except in the Magazine.

You're kidding, right?
They don't set up the course for play.
Generally not, sometimes in tournaments. Usually, the outdoor manager is in charge of that, and more often than not they are just following the pin position chart on the scorecard. I'll admit the workers that actually put the cup in the ground could use a lot more training/supervision.
They don't give lessons.
Take a look at page 13 of the insert you've referenced and see the 11 teaching pros. The "club pros" are really facility managers, not teachers
They don't develop a junior program.
In a 55+ retirement community??? Really???
They "front & center".
No idea what that means in this context
They don't manage pace-of-play.
No, that's the job that the "ambassadors"
DON'T DO
They don't promote the game.
Golf Fest, Pro shootout, website including pro's corner, advertisements, specials. What would you suggest?
My friend, this time I think you were way off the mark.
