Also, when signs are out (approaching the green) that have arrows directing you back to the golf path, MEANING DO NOT PROCEED FORWARD.... people just ignore them, and the ambassadors don't say a word. They think they can practically drive onto the edge of the green. I live on Sand hill across from one of the greens and they drive past the signs, and even past the rope and weave their way around to park on the very edge of the green. Talk about no etiquette. They think that handicapped sign means they don't have to follow any rules. Oh, by the way, I AM handicapped and I follow the rules. Of course these kind of people probably don't read TOTV to learn about etiquette. Oh well....what are you gonna do about it? For sure the ambassadors won't do a thing.
Mostly incorrect. Ambassadors absolutely can correct slow play issues. I've done it quite a few times. But sometimes, the issue is not with the players, but rather the course or conditions. RA tag owners may drive up to 15' from the green, unless there are restrictions in place on the course to prevent damage.
