It used to happen, but ambassador’s roles changed 4-5 years ago. They used to come by 2-3 times per 9 holes, stop and talk to the golfers, provide sand and water, and keep up the pace of play. Now, as far as I can tell, their only real function is to insure non paying golfers don’t sneak onto the course. They also seem to be very concerned with insuring all the rakes are inside the sand traps, so the contractors mowing don’t have to get off their machines to move the rakes. So, the pace of mowing is apparently more important than the pace of play?
