Typically, if you were to be hit into, it was probably due to you not being seen, such as a dog leg or over a hill. Those do not make it ok, it was probably an accident and the hitter should and in most cases would come up and apologize. Now it were to happen again, or if it was a first time in the open, a raising of the arms, should work. Beyond this, not a good idea to get into a confrontation. If they think you are slow, they should notify the ambassador, we call him a ranger. And, the same with you, they keep hitting into, call the ranger. I have always known that to stop any conflicts without any repercussions. Cool heads and common sense should prevail. This is golf, supposed to be fun. TV more than any place will have more of a mix than most courses, both in ability and knowledge of rules and courtesy.
