I may just need to pivot and try to get out with the more serious players from now on.

Maybe "reframe" the scenario?
(I plan to do this, I'm not turning pro in any lifetime(s)):
When you play a "casual round" with friends, use it as a practice round? Be creative or play different (second/practice) shots for fun and not worry about scorekeeping (especially other people's scorekeeping
).
Decide before a round whether its going to be (your) serious round; or cheat harder, whatever works!
