I'd rather the Ambassador monitor the play, educate people to help them learn, and if there are repeat offenders, the Ambassador write's them up and they get more points for the week, limiting their ability to play. We do need to do better, but instead of shutting ideas down immediately, let's find solutions...
Sorry have played with residents who have played for most of their lives, on more than one occasion, watched them trounce though sand traps, dig in hit the ball, and walk out. Never picking up a rake.
If you ask, their response is “gives the staff something to do other than put the pins in the wrong place.”, or that’s why I pay greens fee. Clearly they know golf etiquette, just choose not to follow.
