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.

They also run the “Good Golf” school, which was very beneficial 20 years ago in helping us become acquainted with the local golf hierarchy and course rules. I wish golfers and especially would-be golfers would take the course. Of course, it was free then. I think there is a fee now. 😝
