As a newcomer to the sport I was wondering if some of you more experience players can tell me how you cope with accidental cheating.
When I started I did have difficulty remembering all the penalties and fluffed shots but was so embarrassed when they where pointed out by my partner that I invested in a clicker to keep tally.
I was playing with an acquaintance the other day and just managed to beat him on the last hole but only after a count up of the additional shots he had taken on the last hole. If I'd lost I would've been a bit peeved because I know that there were several occasions earlier when the odd shot had gone missing even after me politely querying the numbers.
Is this normal and do I just shrug my shoulders or do I risk upsetting a fellow club member?
