I'm not sure what your stance was but SILH was basically saying in-front only...the r&a link suggests (if I'm aimng to 12 o'clock) that 3 and 9 are fine, just not 6...

Can't find anything in Willie Park Junior, written around 1896.
Had a quick look around the internet and found the following that was itroduced by the R&A at the end of their 1891 rules code:
The following customs belong to the established Etiquette of Golf and should be observed by all golfers:
1.No player, caddie, or onlooker should move or talk during a stroke.
2.No player should play from the tee until the party in front have played their second strokes and are out of range, nor play to the Putting Green till the party in front have holed out and moved away.
3.The player who leads from the tee should be allowed to play before his opponent tees his ball
4.Players who have holed out should not try their putts over again when other players are following them.
5.Players looking for a lost ball must allow any other match coming up to pass them.
6.A party playing three or more balls must allow a two ball match to pass them.
7.A party playing a shorter round must allow a two ball match playing the whole round to pass them.
8.A player should not putt at the hole when the flag is in it.
9.The reckoning of the strokes is kept by the terms “the oddâ€, “two moreâ€, “three more†&c., and “one off threeâ€, “one off twoâ€, “the likeâ€. The reckoning of the holes is kept by the terms – so many – “holes up†– or “all even†– and so many “to play.â€
10.Turf cut or displaced by a stroke in playing should be at once replaced.

On the Tee
For safety reasons do not stand ahead (forward of the ball) of the player who is making a stroke.
To avoid distracting the player, do not stand directly behind his line of play nor anywhere else in his peripheral vision.
Generally, you should be stood in front of (facing) the player teeing off, i.e. to the right hand side of his line of play if the player is right handed. If the player is left handed, DO walk to the opposite side of the tee. Remain still & silent while your fellow player is playing.
Check your shadow does not fall in an area which may distract a fellow player in making his swing.

And if the player teeing off isn't happy all they have to do is ask politely for their playing partners to move.

You certainly have a very low opinion of current golfers and golf clubs

Spot on. The original "commandment" from SILH wS that you could only stand in front of the golfer teeing off. This was clarified numerous times. Including when SILH stated that he would move around the tee box if there was a golfer who was left handed. Now you're saying that you should stand either in front of, or behind the golfer (not the ball obviously) and claiming that everyone else is wrong and should apologise. I would suggest that if you agree with the OP then the recent posts prove you wrong. Apologies over the next 100 posts please.

Sadly I experienced the first trance of propriety courses [not clubs] in the 1990's and soon realised that they were generally not good for golf.
Some of their business models were awful and many decent but gullible golfers lost a lot of money when they went broke.
Because of their involvement it is one of the reasons why two obvious golfers have never been knighted.
Many have not fully recovered and carry too much debt to this day.

I can't possibly say, but I think they are pretty obvious.

Not that obvious as I don't know which two you are talking about and why they didn't get a knighthood.

Our Lady Captain got hit by a shanked ball right in the middle of her forehead. Luckily the bone is very strong there... and few inches lower and she would be in big trouble! She was standing in the historically correct safe place...
In certain lights, you can see a very faint Titleist in mirror script above her eyes...

no idea, or care, point was the honours reasons are secret and known to a certain few only- all 'reasons' people give for ommissions are then just purely speculation, assumption and hearsay.
