Default Annoyed by Hole Jumpers?

Venting Rant...Get Golf Etiquette

How annoyed should one be when playing a championship course, and the group behind you decides to jump immediately ahead of you (next hole) and causes you to stop and wait for them on following hole?

We had just this happen on Lopez (Torri Pines) the other night; we were chipping up to 1st green when folks behind us decided to jump up to #2 (par 3). By the time we got to #2 tee they were gone, but not so at #3 - we had to wait at least 10 minutes for them to clear the green. I believe they smartened up after #3 and skipped #4, cause we never saw them again.

Ambassadors have previously told us when situations arose requiring a "play-through"...should always move ahead 2 full holes so as not to impact players just passed.

PS. we were 5:00 group, with no one ahead of us and had kept a good pace all through Ashley and into Torri, seeing no one behind us on Ashley 7, 8 or 9. There...venting complete.
