No offense to the OP, but IMHO the starter's job (much any golf club employee) is to make sure that ALL patrons enjoy their round (I do disagree with how she delivered said message). Nothing worst than being stuck behind golfers that are playing from inappropriate tees all the while having ZERO chance of getting their approach shots on regulation (ie. golfers that can't hit longer than 200 yards on their drives but yet insist on teeing off from the blues/blacks). 4.5-5 hour rounds are simply unacceptable...

I'll disagree with you. Though I dont hit short and in fact I am long but I am inconsistant and when my game is not working good for me on a given day I can be all over with my drives and I often shoot in the 90's but can, have and still do it in 4 hours. In fact i find the slower people who hold up the course can be and are often alot of times the better golfers. Taking toooo long at lining up, at address, at too many practice strokes, at much toooo long lining up puts etc... and then of course taking much tooo much time looking for the ocasional lost ball or three. I usually get out as a single and mach up with all different golfers both poor and very good ones. And I find what i have mentioned to be the case very much so. Then of course some of the slowing down is also due to the fact that some people just live in slow motion. Just everything they do takes for ever wether its golf or some chore or something else at home or in thier personal lives. Just part of their natural character wether they golf good or not. Can be quite annoying to some of us but thats just the way they are. Just annoys me when alot of golfers assume the lesser golfers are the reason for delays on the course when it can and is often the other way around. I've witnessed it too many times. With that said, I dont think anyone should ever tell anyone where they should play from.
