They were on the slow side, we waited on them at least 80% of our shots but could never catch up. But watching them, we were glad we didn't---even though they were playing from the girlie tees, they would wait for the group ahead to get over 300 yards out before they hit---and on par 4's of under 320 they waited for the green to clear. It then took them 4 or 5 shots to get there. THAT would have driven us nuts, so it was worth waiting on them not to have played with them. However, in general, I don't think it is right for the starter to split a foursome to send 2 people out 5 minutes earlier.

Same thing with letting a faster twosome or a single play through. Was told doing this makes it difficult for the ambassador to track pace of play.
