Golf is a "gentlemans" game where you call fouls on yourself and is all about honesty and integrity.
Some idiots take it too far just like everything else. Apparently golf isn't immune to the "fake outrage" that's plaguing the world.
Surely you can understand that.

I agree he didn't care. Just didn't want to walk after the ball anymore. All the more reason to DQ him. Set an example without actually causing much harm to anyone.

Yeah, if you want to DQ him on that, go for it. Not sure if it is really "setting an example" though.
Not sure this is all that much of an epidemic. If an example needs to be made of someone here, it would be the USGA for once again horribly mismanaging a golf course. I don't know who does that though.

You're just not gentlemanly enough in North America. I've seen your kind golf.

Im visiting Rockford again his summer and have some club repairs to do. I have always been fed up with paying those yahoo's at the Pro shop to do basic club repairs, while ignoring my instructions on some of my requests. So I decided to start taking care of my own business. In the last 2 days Ive stripped my clubs and regripped them. Also reshafted 2 wedges, and another club coming in on monday that will get a new shaft. Unfortunately, I did break my Titleist driver head screw when I was removing it for shipping. I took it in for their opinion of those adjustable adapters that drivers have, but, again I had to instruct them on what the best way to remove the broken screw would be. BTW, DONT buy any hosel adapters off Ebay, some of those Chinese ones don't do anything when you turn it. Im going to get iron fitted tomorrow morning at True Spec GolfBeen some good reviews on them lately. Most guys are claiming its better than Club Champion, which I love, so we will see.

I do it all but adjust the lie and lofts. They're all fairly simple.
Grips can be a little intimidating at first, just remember one rule: there's no such thing as too much mineral spirits. I use a basic two part epoxy for installing adaptors and extending shafts. Give the epoxy enough time (2-3 days) to properly cure before hitting.
As far as cutting down shafts, I use a hacksaw for graphite and a pipe cutter for steel then use some lead tape to adjust swing weight.

I'd watch. I think how exciting it'll be depends on the course. They both struggle with driving accuracy so a really tight/tree lined course would make for some entertaining and creative golf from those two.

I'd probably check in on it but it would have been a much better match let's say 15 years ago.
