If people aren't educated in golf etiquette and don't want to be then all of your great ideas(and you aren't the first to note what can be done)are falling on not only deaf ears, but ears that aren't forced to act as you describe.

Right on Fred--- who is in charge. Course employees tell me that they are not allowed to enforce what most would consider reasonable rules of play.I honestly don't know if that statement is true or a misunderstanding. How do we get a better situation for all? To whom do we address concerns?
PS more suggestions
Print on back of Exec score cards -large print (currently in small print,really small at bottom front of card)
1 Reasonable play times
2 Keep in touch with group playing ahead( assuming it is also a foursome)
3 Reminders on Raking and Greens repairs
4 Have the guys/gals who patrol make friendly reminders to rake, repair and play ready golf.
This can be done in a friendly and considerate way.
Post same type of reminders at starter shacks-in full view
Ditto the first tee box.
Post reminders (small) on fairway exit polls= rake and repair , keep up pace.
Doing nothing will only allow a worsening situation. Usually what gets emphasis improves. We are not the first or only golf facilities to have these issues. This is definitely a management issue. It is one of the very few failures in management that I have seen in TV.
