I’m not sure the ambassadors would help with any of this. Saturday the local cable guy showed up later than expected so my husband sent me on ahead with all the clubs to make our tee time with friends. I told the starter shack my husband would be joining us late. When he arrived the ambassador offered to run him out to us. aswe were driving away from the green on the cart path the ambassador ran across the par three and over the fringe, almost onto the green, to get him to us. It was very sweet they brought him to us, but I’m not sure they understand the cart path rules either.

A man playing in front of me, kept driving his cart , onto the green. After two holes, I drove up to let him know, very politely, that he shouldn’t be doing this & why. He told me to mind my own business. The ambassador wasn't anywhere around, so I called the starter shack to report this man. The ambassador showed up, watch them from a distance, after seeing the man drive onto green, he went & talked to the man. The man must of got mad and he left.

If you experience any type of extreme slow play etc., bizarre behavior, call the starter shack. The phone # is on the score cards. This is the most effective and diplomatic way to handle these situations. I learned the hard way.

You just can't fix stupid. But at least you have given real golfers some ammo to stop stupid.

Unfortunately, I see this every day and not only on the golf courses. Too many people feel like they are entitled to do whatever they want, drive however they please and be rude to whoever they come in contact with.
