Me too. But I recall walking the course as a group and passing along and reinforcing the niceties, courtesies and course conduct that went with the game. Reminders to companions to fix divots or rake bunkers. The game used to be much more relaxed and congenial.
Now, it's hurry, hurry up, rush-rush, gotta stay ahead of the group behind, push the group ahead. If you can't keep up, get out of the way. No wonder newbies don't learn golf etiquette. Nobody has the time or desire to instruct the new kids. Only complain when they fail to keep up.
Ah. The good old days.
