really appreciate any suggestions you may have to speed up play. We notify the starter when things start to back up. We look for reasons of the backing up(i.e: ball hawkers, people hitting 2,3 or more balls from the tee in lieu of going to the drop area. If the groups are elderly with physical problems(many, many do)then you can't ask them to move faster.

Since you don't know what the situation was or have any viable solutions you might want to think up a solution in stead of just complaining.

I'm open to reasonable solutions, but with mostly elderly and beginners playing on the executive there is not a lot a person can do.

So you mention the problem should have been corrected far in advance...HOW? It takes 45 minutes to an hour to tour an executive course properly...a round should take 1.5 to 1.75 hours to play...if people have to wait and it still takes that amount of time then some folks are clearly better golfers and should understand the situation.
