The starters and ambassadors have been doing a good job. Where I see problems are first with starters/ambassadors who are and act about as subtle as a train wreck. There is one guy who literally barked commands and golfers expressions told you what they were thinking. Secondly there are some golfers who have acted too emotionally, rudely, etc and in those circumstances I believe a starter /ambassador should have the same authority as an umpire....you're outta here. The problem of course is that such confrontations may well get out of hand.
So in support of starters and ambassadors each and every course ought to place in a very conspicious spot the rules of conduct while on the course and the penalty if they are not followed.
I have only come across three starters/ambasadorsin the six years living here that I believed ought to have found another occupation
