I joined with a VERY slow 3some at the 10th hole (they wouldn't let me play through, claiming other 4somes were ahead). The marshall met us on the 14th tee. Instead of talking to us about being 2 holes behind and needing to pick up the pace he starts chatting with the 3 old guys - sharing stories, asking about wives, just shooting the sh*t. I was the last guy to tee off. After I hit my ball another guy drives up in a cart. They great him like Norm walking into Cheers. I start to walk up the fairway. One of the older guys yells out to me to hold up so they can talk to the friend (I said I'd play ahead - we were 2 holes behind). The marshall didn't say a word to them about pace of play, but instead sat there and joined them in talking with the guy who drove up. I hate to be this way about it but after the round I went in to the clubhouse to report the guy - it's one thing for a marshall to not do his job, it's something else for the marshall to actually contribute to slow play.
