Playing through: The rule that everyone ignores - National Club Golfer

I'm not disputing whether Clubs have the right to discourage folks from allowing slower groups to allow players to "play through", clubs can do whatever they wish. I was merely correcting those who claim "Singles have no standing" on the golf course. That's simply wrong and harkens back to the Rules of Golf adopted in 1899 ... this is a new day.
My apologies. I thought I had clearly stated in the English language that you were correct in that the rules were modified in 2004 and then clarified again subsequently. Let me check that again---oh, yeah, there it is in ENGLISH. Sorry for the confusion
