By and large the people who play the executive courses are out for a good time and may even get a par or two. Pace of play on executive courses can run anywhere from 1:30 to 2:30 hours per round.
The difficulty of the course pretty much determines the pace of play. Of course the caliber of the players comes into play as well.
Look we are now in season if you are playing golf and think you are going to play fast, you had better wait until May.
It's my understanding that Ambassadors are trained to be polite, friendly and inoffensive.
If someone was having a heart attack, I know they would help. But I sure wouldn't complain to them about pace of play.
I think they are Good Will Ambassadors, not Golf Police.
