Please could you let me know if there is a penalty for persistently ignoring the etiquette rules. I was recently playing in a Texas Scramble competition. Throughout the round, someone persisted in talking when I or others were playing our shots. On a number of occasions, I asked them to stop talking in order that I could play. At one stage, the person said “well, we won’t be playing that ball” after I topped my shot because they spoke whilst I was swinging my club to strike the ball. On another occasion, their mobile rang. I found the whole thing extremely stressful. I would be interested to hear recommendations on how to handle a situation such as this.
