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!
What??? You get tired of pretending not to see other players "fluff" the ball for a better hit also picking up and moving their ball for a better position or 5' gimmes on the green?

I hear you. I'm also a higher handicapper but enjoy the game as the rules lay it out. I really don't care how others manifest their scores but dislike the amount of time it takes for all the adjustments vs walking up and hitting the ball.

Good luck in your search, I don't know if much is available in The Villagers at that caliber.
