Unless I am playing in a tournament or a match, I would never worry about how others are playing with one caveat. In the nicest way possible I hope that all golfers will take 15 minutes to understand basic etiquette, where to stand, when to talk, etc. In my many years playing in TV, I have yet to meet anyone I did not enjoy playing with.
I guess I view my game as someone who takes it seriously and plays for the fun of it….

My sentiments exactly.
Especially the etiquette part.
Whether a serious or "just for fun" golfer, learning the basics on how to keep things moving and not back up the whole course....should be required.
A test before being allowed to play maybe?
