They seemed grateful that we told them.

For people that don't know the rules (and there are many people here that just started playing golf), there should be a handout at each starter shack that is given to people - along with verbal instructions pointing out the major rules.
I agree that some people will just ignore it but I think most people would appreciate the information. They do seem more concerned about whether you are wearing a collared shirt rather than if you are taking good care of the course.
