Rich,
Simple answer is - ignore the bleating. You and your wife have put significant amounts of your own time to make this bigger and better each year and the quality of the courses we play is always superb. If those that can't accept the pace of play, especially from the Battleback guys, and have generally griped don't like it, don't take their money next year. I am sure there will be plenty waiting to fill their spots who will enjoy the day, the company, and not give two jots how long it takes to play.
Given everything you've had to deal with, and then not being able to be there today as well, I think you and your wife should be immensely proud of just how good a day it has been today. Hopefully in 2021 we'll be back to a semblance or normality and you'll take pride enough in the fact 99% of us appreciate all the efforts that go into the day to take up the baton next year and make it another memorable occasion
