Cheating competition

I have been playing socially since April last year. This year I decided to try competing. When I play socially, I either have good players holding off on me because they think I'm too precious to play properly against, or I have to play people who aren't as good, and hold off myself or they will start to pout. I wanted to compete to see how good I really was and to actually feel like I could play properly for a change.

I went to a club and to the adults lowest rated players Wednesday night. My first match I played a guy who told me he had a 3 handicap, and this kid of about 13/14 kept score. Problem is, the kid kept awarding my points to him. I had to keep telling this kid "Hey, that was my point." When I turned my back to go get the ball from the corner, when I turned back, the kid had changed the score. I have no idea what the score originally was, but I saw the kid change my opponent's flipcard. The other guy was giving him looks the whole game while the kid kept trying to award this guy my points. They were both saying "You're good." I confronted the kid a couple times and he said, "It takes a moment for my brain to process things." I have no idea if he was telling the truth. I don't know these people; they're strangers. Perhaps I am jumping to conclusions?

Should I just let it go...

The other problem is that two of the guys there - both really good - basically told me they use this as a social play because they are ranked higher but they don't like being "competitive." The whole reason I went there was to be competitive. I had to tell these guys like five times to just play properly. "But you don't like missing four shots in a row? That must not feel good for you?" Sigh. I get this all. the. time. Socially. "Go easy on her." No don't. Really. I tell them "Just slam it at me, I really don't care." And they just won't.

Should I say something to the people who run it? Try another club? Keep going back and let it go? I'm really disappointed...
