Part of the problem is that beginning golfers are playing on courses that are rated 3 or 4 (i.e. more difficult courses) and/or playing the incorrect tees. We got behind a group the other day that were playing the middle tees on Roosevelt (the course is rated 4 - demanding). By observation, their ball striking skills should have had them playing the forward tees. They were holding up the whole golf course,and had a least one open hole in front of them. Of course, no ambassador to be seen. If you're a beginner, please make your tee times at the courses rated 1 or 2. Here is a link with course ratings:
