Yes I know, I have the option to just stop reading it!

In your comments directed toward Winston the OP, I think you're way off base. He would fit in our group very easily, we have a threesome and in the winter a foursome. We're not the greatest group, but one member shot 73 yesterday at Mallory and a 70 last week at Bonifay from the while tees. I shoot about 80 and the current third member shoots low 80's.
Once you know the golf etiquette, it's like driving a car, it will become automatic. We do play ready golf, we almost never have honors on the tee, we generally hit in the same order everytime or whoever is ready. We all have our own rangefinders, I wear one on my wrist, so it's right there with me. My cart has two sand bottles, so the passenger doesn't have to walk around the cart to get a bottle. Yes, you fill your divots with sand, it's not a big deal, the sand is free.
I've been playing with the same neighbor since 2012, but in 2011 before than, I did once play with a group of 20. They were the Buttonwood group. They were very casual, but they all followed the rules. It was a fun group and yet they knew how to play. It was also the first time I broke 80 at TV from the blue tees. Good etiquette inspires good golf.
