You are wasting your time trying to convince them it's more than just walking around and socializing. That's why you have groups that seem to have to discuss where they are going to eat on the ninth green while a group is waiting to tee off. That's why the bunkers look like crap most of the time; why there are way too many unrepaired pitch marks on the greens. That's why you have golfers that don't care how slow they are playing, and really don't care who they are inconveniencing. Not in TV, of course; other places.

Au contraire: Its because I love the game and respect its challenges that I do not complain about it being unfair. I suspect your comments may apply to some but not all. and just because someone does not complain about a green not mowed etc doesn't me they don't know or don't care. It may mean to them, that's the lot a drew today. I did my best. I'll mention the missed mowing to the starter.
Keep in mind that these courses get a lot of play. Keep in mind that the same people that cut a hole for pin placement are the same guys that set the tees at the tee box and they miss there also because they are not professionals caretakers on a PGA played course. BUT the person ultimately responsible for my golf game is ME.
