how do you avoid not offending them when they say 'just move your ball away from that tree...this game is tough enough.'


Why the hell would you? Playing for money?

As was said, you are thinking too hard. If you aren't playing for cash and you are spouting USGA rules you will sound ridiculous.

Wrong. It's not about spouting rules. It's about playing by the rules when your partners are cheating. I have never chastised a playing partner for cheating. Never.

But when they see me refuse to improve my lie they feel guilty and get pissed off. "Why don't you just move your ball from under that tree limb, Zach?"

I could say "It's cheating." But instead...
"I'm going to get on my knees and to try to hit it with the toe of my putter to get it back into the fairway."

Has this never happened to you if you play strict rules when others in your party do not?
