Golfers complain about anything.

Played Glenview yesterday so I still had the scorecard. At 2 hrs, 6 minutes per nine, the time expected per hole is 14 minutes. (actual average 13.66). Relax and enjoy your time on the course!

Yes, relax and enjoy the fact that you are the right side of the grass. Life is too short to be bitching about this trivial subject. Play golf, enjoy the company.
Also, it does amuse me that a great majority of the golfers here in TV use a range finder. Those that do, try and round without it and you'll see your score will be the same.

An ambassador showed up within minutes of our call, explained a group three holes ahead of us was playing slow since they teed off, and they were warned once, but not asked to skip holes. The ambassador said they now have two ambassadors for three nines, and it's been that way for some time. He said that's the reason they can't get around to check on everyone or keep players on pace. If this bothers you, call golf administration and encourage them to have one ambassador for every nine. Golf Administration phone number is 352.753.3396.
First of all....14 mins a hole gets you done in a little over 4 hours. Not bad for The Villages. Yes, I played in less back home at my private club, but you must realize that’s not to bad

As long as golfers play 9 holes in the allowed time the ambassador cannot say anything. 4 1/2 hours for 18 holes is probably allowed. You would think people could play faster when they don't repair ball marks or rake traps. Cheers.

2 ambassadors for 27 holes is sufficient.

@14 minutes per hole that’s a 4 hour 12 minute round I don’t know what the pace of play is at Glenview but that doesn’t seem unreasonable.
