Default Rule #1 for a starter is

Don't listen to the golfers!
Rule #1 for the Ambassador is don't listen to the golfers. Stay away and just watch to determine issues, golfers lie for self serving reasons.
Once golfers tee off they are self serving
once you start to make accommodations you are screwed!
Adult children better known as golfers will then, once realizing you made an exception, all want something. Best stay out of that pool.

The history of speed of play found two things...
1. the tee time interval is the amount of time it takes to play the first par 3 hole on the course.
2. golfers teeing off earlier than their tee time create slow play,

That being said, why people wait on the tee for the group ahead to get on and or off the green, not par 3's, is beyond me and so self serving so they can continue playing the hole once they tee off.

When they do this and the groups behind them start stacking up it creates many issues.

Bottom line--- don't let the inmates rule the asylum............

Crazy starter this morning:
Our tee time was 8am.
The 7:44 two-some showed up about five minutes before their tee time.
They asked if they could go out later so they could warm up a bit.
We (two-some) said we can out go at 7:44 if they want to go at 8am.
They said that would be great.
The starter said no.
Really?!?!?!
