I totally agree with your comments Gracie. A little courtesy will go a long way and if your group feels that they are causing a bottleneck, then they should play best ball or just skip the hole if they can and move on. The ambassadors should intervine and decide what is the best remedy and not be worried that someone will complain about them.

I wonder if The Villages has any statistics on persistant backups on certian courses and maybe add a minute or two between tee times to help lessen the backups. Yes, you can potentially loose a couple of tee times per hour and maybe 20 tee times for the day. With the shorter days in the winter and less tee times available at a time when The Villages fills up with snowbirds,I understand that this may not be a good solution either.

I whole-heartedly agree that you have to be considerate, aware of your surroundings, and keep pace with the play.
