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.

Jumping ahead, as you describe it, is rude and disrespectful. No real golfer with more than half a brain would do this. If anyone did it to me I would hit into them at every opportunity as they have no right to be ahead of me. Hopefully, in this situation, my partners and I would be bigger than the jerks who cut in ahead of us.
