After waiting behind 5:00 start group (with a couple true young novices) at 1st tee, we found it necessary to jump up to 2nd hole and play.

Let me explain: As we drove by we noted, 3 of the 4 players had taken at least 6 shots and were still about 100 yards from the green. One "player" (looked like a 20-something) had attempted 3 shots from the gold tees then was persuaded by his sponsor to move up to the whites; proceeding then to hit a 4th tee shot out of bounds.

This was our 1st experience like this in playing over 150 rounds at TV; obviously an aberration, but anyway, we suggest folks with guests that want to play golf - make sure their guests play courses and tee positions within their capabilities.

We were relieved to have the whole open course ahead of us and of course never saw these folks again; it couldn't have been a good golfing time for them. It would have been miserable golf for anyone stuck behind this group.

Anyway, kudos to the ambassador who stopped and talked to us at the 2nd green, saying thanks to us for jumping ahead as the group on the 1st hole was still struggling.
