We define "social" quite differently, obviously. Walking up to your ball and hitting without regard to what your playing partners are doing would mean not ever getting a game among my friends at the club. But that's OK. Why would you want to play with my friends? You're in a different country thousand of miles away!

Might want to double check that.
how is it social if you are all bombing round in buggies, that to me is atnisocial if anything?
i play a lot and most is very very sociable and we play ready golf at a good pace... and walk

Thats dedication for you!

How would it be without regard??
Obviously you need to identify where everyone is which in my book is 'regarding' them. It's just if you get to your ball first and they're 10 yards behind you on the fairway, but still 50 yards from reaching their ball, why would you wait for them?? Why would they want you to wait for them?? None of it makes sense it just makes everything unnecessarily longer. At the end of the day you play how you like as long as you let other groups play through, but if you're not playing ready golf, don't pretend it's for any reason other than being stubborn old farts.

It's a big game, and there are, at least for now, plenty of diverse venues at which to play.
As long as you find people and places where your style of playing fits in, you're all set.
I play weekday golf with the same gang of seniors every day. They're my friends, or mates as some of you call them.
The young people are working and play weekend golf or twilight golf after we've gone home.
So we get to play our way and it's no problem.

My point is if the whole course ahead is made up of four balls all playing in a competition and we hadn't lost our place on the course and so were keeping up ahead is it feasible and how far through the field do you think they'll actually get and would each and every competitive group stand aside to let them through
I totally get that it should happen but if the two ball were non-competitive I would argue that the competition has priority and there shouldn't be any level of expectation from the two-ball to definitely be let through

I heard it can be a DQ for teeing off early .
Is this correct.

See it in the USA all the time. “ pace of play is fourball”
If you go off in a two tough.
They don’t call you through in the US in my experience.
Never seen one here though.

A single does have standing on the course.

Sorry mate you’ve confused yourself, my answer was a direct reply to a question about Seaton Carew GC, they have a local rule which states a single player has no standing on their course.
I know what the R&A etc state.

There is something in what you say in respect of a 2-ball (or other group as it happens) teeing off immediately behind a competition. In that circumstance as one of a two-ball I wouldn't expect to be asked to play through as I know we'd be getting entangled in the competition and I just wouldn't want to be doing that - the club might also specifically say that competition golf has priority over social golf and so need not give way to groups playing immediately behind the competition. Often why a lot of clubs book the tee for half hour or so after the last tee off time in a competition - creates a bit of breathing space for the last group in the competition.

So your post that 'claimed' it would was either twaddle or a p-take. Hard to tell from the peculiar smiley!
