When we got to the next tee, we still had to wait a minute or so for the ones ahead of us. It ruined the round for us to have people pushing from behind like that when we weren't really slow. My point is that if you are that good and that fast, what are you doing on an executive course fussing at those who are playing at an acceptable pace and staying away from the championship courses until they get better? And if you want to play an executive course, expect those ahead of you to perhaps be a bit slower.
If you got to the next tee and had to wait for the group ahead of you to clear before you could tee off, you are not in the wrong. Sounds like you are in position and the issue is the group behind you. I would ask the ambassador how you are doing for pace and mention to him what happened with the back seat ambassadors behind you. Do not let folks ruin your day.

On the other hand if are two holes behind, I have an entirely different post
