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!
Buy an enhanced membership and sign up for Tuesday Men's day tournaments. You will get paired with guys in your handicap range and based on my limited experience (a couple of tournaments) I believe they tend to play by the rules. You may meet a group of guys there that are more likely to play by the rules.
