1. I guess for me I do not know any other way to play than by the rules. Mostly because I maintain a handicap and need that to be accurate. It does not bother me at all how others play as long as we do not have a beverage on the line . Even on the executives, I play the ball as it lies, mostly for practice. The only exception there is when I am in an idiot print in a bunker, I give myself a drop.
   
2. Only if I am already at double bogey, the max I can take on a hole. Sadly, this happens too often
   
3. I do not believe this cart really exists. Much like a unicorn
