I agree with you about not improving lies and not taking mulligans, etc. I got in with a golfing crowd that took cheating to a level of a saturday night live skit or a monty python movie. the ring leader put down a minimum of four balls from each shot. Like a one man captain's choice (scramble). He would drive four balls, pick the best one. Improve his lie. Hit four shots from that point. Pick the best one...lift clean and place even in sand traps, that he raked and teed the ball up in. He would drive with top flites for distance, hit irons with titleists to get spin. If you got near to his score, he would cheat some more. I got sick of that mess. They would encourage me to cheat and I would have none of it. If I whiffed a ball, that counted...etc. If I shot a 93 or something and he shot a 77, you can believe I beat him by 600 to 700 shots. He had a "foot wedge"...just an incredible satire on the game. Life is too short to be a cheater.

I have a golf story! My Dad (being an avid golfer) took me to a putting green about 10 years back. I'd never been a golfer, much to my fathers dismay, and am deadly at the range.. but that isn't the story. So, he takes me to a couple of holes and shows me how to putt and then he goes to a very difficult shot and misses. I pick up the putter and set the ball, this is my first try, I set up, look, fidget my feet like I see on tv, scratch my butt, and swing... It went around a curve did a little skip and "plop" right into the hole. My Dad picked up his bag and without saying a word turned and walked to the car. He never took me putting again and has never mentioned that day since.
