Sensitive people should probably stick to card games. I never took a course, but I had plenty of GREAT players that were willing to give me advice. I just went out and started playing. Sure, it is nice to know how to keep score when you start playing, but someone will always help you out. If you are with a beginning group, there is always folks there that will readily help you. You should never ever run backwards unless you are prepared to fall and harm yourself so those that holler at you are looking out for your safety. Don't be so sensitive about it. The reason I never took a class is that when I attempted to sign up, the classes were already full. I didn't/don't care because the folks I play with are always friendly and helpful. I play the game for exercise and fun and can never remember how many games we won or lost.
