Golf Random Irritations

[PaulMdj]

Sorry but don’t want any randoms joining up with any group. Completely ruins the dynamic or what you are wanting to do.

How does a fourth person turning up to join a 3 Ball in a 4BBB or 3 people in a 4 man team event ruin the dynamic?
Surely it can only help.

Putting like a god 16/18 holes then putting a horrendous stroke on a 4 footer on the 7th and just a complete switch off on the 12th

Looks like it will cost me a place into the doubles knockout as well

Even with them shockers I gained 3 strokes compared to a 5 handicapper

Nightmare fuel

Competitions aren’t a problem….just normal games don’t want randoms

So your putting actually saved your round then really?

Why not if there is a space in a tee booking , a random is just a potential playing partner you haven’t met yet

Yeah doesn’t feel like it though

No thanks

No thanks

So you only play with people you know ?

You send welcoming! Take it you don’t mix with new members very well then.

Pretty much yes when having a knock about - decided years ago I only want to do things with people I like. Play with whoever you get in competitions, which is a good way of getting know people.

Depends who they are and if they can play golf or not!

So no then!! By that comment do you then judge them on their ability as in how good they are or if they’re not good enough as they’re new to the game you don’t play with them!

I mean that’s how I read that. Glad members at my club are more welcoming regardless of ability.

I’ve been joined by/joined with loads of people I’ve not before, can only think of 1 or 2 occurrences where it wasn’t pleasant.

I’ve had more issues with people I know!
