I think you ran into an unusual situation. I'm sure the "ambassadors" face more challenges this time of year. I've been told several times that my group is running a little slow. However it's always been done with a joke and a smile. Perhaps he responded to your response, perhaps not - maybe he did have a bad day; I've had them also. Bottom line, I play on championship courses an average of twice a week, year round and I've run into a pushy ranger once over 3 years.

My favorite ranger story is about the time we were following a group of lady golfers. After 3 holes it was evident that they were not raking traps. I said something to the ambassador; he monitored them and noticed the same thing. We saw him move in to speak with a woman who just exited a trap without raking it. Several minutes later he drove up to my group. We asked how things went. He said..."not well." The woman had told him that she paid to play golf and it was his job to rake the traps.

If your ambassador ran into one of those lovely types I can understand the bad day he had.
