If they want compassion, join the slow golfers support group. If they want to play golf, keep up with the pace of play. I played both high school and college golf, and believe me, the granddaughter is NOT going to find any "compassion" out there. |

That's what I like about you GE. You tell it like it is. Straight and to the point with just that right touch of comic relief.

The title of the thread suggests that the group was targeted by the ambassador for criticism because of a junior in the group. Even if the ambassador was too outspoken, it seems that the grandfather misread the situation when his granddaughter got so upset.

I'd proceed cautiously. Was the Ambassador abusive? Did he use profanity or was he otherwise disrespectful? Does asking a group to speed up play rise to the level of his possibly losing his job? No follow up from OP. Could be grandpa needs to look in the mirror? Children that age are easily embarrassed by adults' behavior. In this case, I think the adult may have been grandpa. Just sayin' |

I always am a little skeptical when someone's first post is complaining about something in the Villages and then they never come back on. I think pot stirrers like to say something that will get everyone all worked up and then sit back, read all the posts and laugh.

Let's encourage breaking Rules of Golf and simple etiquette on the courses because no one is watching. That's how "The Entitled" generation was created wasn't it. (I can do anything I want, when I want to)

It's not that simple. If an ambassador sees that a group is holding up play, they should say something. They also should look at the time the group started and see where they are on the golf course. It's pretty easy to compute nine minutes per hole, giving and extra four minutes for a par four. If the group is on pace and the group in front of them is way out in front, the group in front is playing faster than normal. If there is no one behind them, why is there a need to say anything? The same thing would apply if the group was on pace and the group behind them was playing faster than the normal accepted pace. In that case, the if there is no one in front, the faster group should be invited to play through.

Wow. If I EVER get arrested for something around here and it goes to jury trial.... I would pray that the jury pool be 12 ToTVrs. I mean it would be a hung jury EVERY time. Can always count on widely differing opinions, and verdicts, here on so many Threads.
Not saying anyone is in the wrong - simply opinions vary by huge degrees. A to Z. Kinda fun reading all this - and at the same time kinda scary. But, almost wants me to commit a crime...
