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!
You can typically play by the USGA rules yourself even in a group that does not. As long as you play fast and take advantage of provisional balls and not going back to the tee because of a lost tee shot. Drop in the fairway and take your two stoke penalty.
