I completely respect that many groups are more relaxed, but I’m simply looking for like-minded players who enjoy the game as it's written. If such a group exists, I’d really appreciate any pointers or contacts.

Thanks in advance!
Do you have a group like that where you live now?

In my experience, the vast majority of golfers play for fun and are not that concerned with the rules.

And 99% of golfers don’t know all of the USGA rules. When you watch golf on television, many PGA players do not seem to know the rules. If you follow all of the rules, it will definitely slow down the pace of play.
