Nate Bargatze had a great line about the golf course when he called it “the most rule-following place on Earth.” Countless weekend duffers headed out to their local municipal have encouraged the wrath of starters who see a great difference in 10:27 a.m. and 10:30ish. They'll encounter a side eye or some passive-aggressiveness but they are usually sent on their way with a charge to catch up to the group ahead of them.
At the professional level, an inability to show up on time is much more punitive.
