If you want to improve speed of play and course conditions is to make it a prerequisite to take a golfing 101 course to be able to make a tee time. While they offer a class it’s not required. People don't fix divots, ball marks. They drive where they shouldn’t and they have no concept of golf etiquette and ready golf. I had one round where I was waiting to hit up on number 9 and the group in front of us literally stood on the green after they were done and decided to just talk. Had no clue we were waiting for them to exit the green. Really!

Having played golf for the last 56 years I categorically reject that proposal. I suppose when Stewart Cink comes to visit his mom or Patrick Reed his grandparents they can't play until they go to golf school? Ridiculous. Give the ambassadors a bit more power and enforce the existing rules of golf and etiquette.
