Seriously? I think a lot of egos are involved in this discussion. If the guy wants to play by the rules in which golf was established, it shouldn't be any hair off anyone's neck. He is simply asking for golfers who play by the rules for his game.

He probably learned a lot more about people who live in TV's than his original question.
I guess you missed the part where I wrote, "if you want to play by strict rules, more power to you". I couldn't care less what other people do (and I do my best to play by the rules as well). I am also cognizant of pace of play, which led to my other point. But I suppose it's fun to take one sentence out of context (a true statement btw) and get indignant over it.

I'm not exactly sure what ego has to do with it. Nobody cares if a group is playing strict USGA rules golf (or if they're not for that matter). They do care if they have to play a 5 hour round. If OP can find a group of guys to do that with, then it's a happy ending; so long as they maintain pace of play. I think that's all people are really saying here.
