Fully discussed at committee in 2018 when all the newly available LRs/course changes were due to come out and turned down unanimously.
Might have been better to set this up as a pole to make seeing the result easier

The club do not, however, when I ran some of my society competitions, we used it for pace of play reasons

No, largely due to not being able to hold qualifying comps when its in use.

No. But I played with someone recently who thought this was now a universal rule

Another one because we won't be able to use it in qualifiers - and it would mean no General Play scores. And experience is that its not needed in social rounds, as in those, people tend not to bother going back anyway.

The idea is to put a meaningful voting option down, such a "yes" and "no" and maybe "don't know"

Kinda, instead of using the rule, just marked the one area where it was considered as a lateral hazard (or penalty area, whatever, red stakes)

I've changed my mind and switched to "Comment" as I don't like to see an option with no love.

Yes, including handicap rounds (but then I'm in North America).
Not generally used in significant competitions.

We had a visitor from the States play with us for several months in our roll up , we could not get him to remember that we did not have that rule here.

I’ve played a few mizuno singles events and they use this. I have seen a player drop the ball way closer to the green than where they should have. Another dropped a ball and thought he was playing his 3rd shot from there when it was his 4th
