In the democracy of Golf all are equal as they come to the game, including lack of skill. We exist in Golf as equals under the Rules however, with respect to skill, we dont remain equal as evidenced by our average Handicap (would apply even if everyone instinctively swung a golf club efficiently).
Once in Golf, personal responsibility dictates how each golfer develops their skill including those focused on improving and regardless whether Advice is sought. Golf fosters competition and everyone in golf has a right to expect, indeed is entitled to, a level playing field. Golf ensures fair competition to all through Handicap.
Finally, Golf expects each person to take responsibility for playing by the Rules, an obligation taken seriously by all who love the game. I cant think of a better example than Golf to show how personal responsibility and the level playing field meet in equity.
