If you wanted to you can use your driver to putt or chip with, I dont understand this part about the 3 iron.

I would also say that marking the ball is what is abused the most when I am playing.

if i am picking up my ball to clean it off then i'll mark it, but if i am just going to turn it over to line it up what's the point of marking it if you're just out playing with your buddies

Yeah marking the ball seems to be a bit of a no go for me. At Highworth Golf club they have this Par 3 that says people mark all balls once on the green then let others tee off, does that account for your local par threes? just wondering

I think it's the out of bounds/lost ball rule that gets broken most often by casual golfers. A lot of people use the same rule that applies to a hazard, where you drop a ball where it went out of bounds and take your penalty. You are really supposed to replay your shot, whether it be on the tee box or in the fairway. If you are not sure it went out of bounds, play a provisional.
