My two cents is no. Reason being is that when it does get backed up for the most part the group behind you is focused on what you in the group in front of them may be doing. This time of year I believe it is best to just move up and hit from the drop zone if you have an errant tee shot.

I don't agree that walkers always slow the game down on executive courses. I have been paired with walkers many times and I can't think of a single time that those of us driving had to wait for the walker. More often than not, it was we in the carts who slowed things down because we had to walk a long way from the cart path to hit our ball - darn slices.

The only time I can see this being a problem are the few courses that are laid out such that the green of one hole and the succeeding tee box are far apart (Silver Lake comes to mind as well as the long walk to the second par 4 on Churchill Downs).

It would be absolutely inappropriate to hit mulligans when waiting. It would be appropriate if there was a question if the first ball was lost. Regarding using "range balls" on most courses if a player is seen hitting a range ball on the course it is grounds to request the player to leave the course. :ho:

I agree that range balls shouldn't be removed from the range and used on the course. Perhaps the poster was referring to shag balls/old, scarred balls that weren't worth retrieving.

I'm so glad I don't play golf!

Me-too

I would have asked the ambassador just where you were suppose to be?? You can not go faster then the people in front of you even if you have a race car!
