I am new to the sport and will join a club soon. When talking to friends they say that some people are like the mafia when it come to the rules of golf. They wait for you to tee off then loudly declare you were half an inch in front of the tee marker and penalise you for it.
This to me does not sound right. Surely even in a board comp you would say to a playing partner that they were teeing off a few inches further than the marker...or is golf really that cut throat.
On a similar theme do people get to play a board comp in a foursome with at least someone they know (a friend) or is it drawn randomly?
I ask because I can’t break 56 yet over 9 holes but I have set myself goals and intend to play comps, board comps and opens this year and I need to know what normal competitive competition will entail.
