Who else is SICK of this???

[monenzad]

I've had it with my golf partners, I haven't golfed close to a month now cause my playing partners couldn't make it. Anyone else sick of not being able to golf cause they can't find a golfing buddy?

I gave up on half my buddies because I couldn't stand playing with them.
(Take it to serious - 3 minute pre-shot routine etc. etc.)
Playing as a single at twillight has become the norm.

Sometimes its tough to coordinate schedules nowadays with work, and family commitments...but I try to get out once a week, but I do agree....it would be nice to have 4 guys who enjoy playing together and can get out together on a regular basis.

Sorry to hear that. But frankly, don't blame your buddies. Blame yourself for not playing. Whoever said you have to play golf in company of a friend only?

Play with total strangers (matched up by the starter) or simply play alone by yourself. Just play.

I agree...I often play by myself, no shame in it, just the chance you may get set up with "stiffs". :cool: Sorry to hear that. But frankly, don't blame your buddies. Blame yourself for not playing. Whoever said you have to play golf in company of a friend only?

damn!

Our regular foursome hasn't played together in a while and last weekend I got stiffed by another friend for a round I travelled far to get to. Ended up staying on the range for 3 hours hitting balls and waiting.

Being that I don't have my own car limits me as to playing when someone is willing to give me a ride but I'm always willing to meet them somewhere along the way.

A Sunday 4some would be perfect for me.

[EDSGolf]

Just play as a single.

I have met some of the greatest people by not limiting myself to who I golf with. In the last month I have played 2 rounds with other members from my home course. Beside that all other rounds (about 12) have been with people in don't know and most from distances more than an hour away from Belleville.

It's been said I'll golf with anyone. By the looks of the line up for this weekend in the Falls, I guess their right. :rofl:

Next year.....I'd be more than happy to get something regular if you're interested.

My friends are just not as addicted as I am. Fortunately there are many others who are.

I find with my regular group of golfers it is harder to get a reall commitment to play. They all love to play but trying to pin them down early enough to get a decent tee-off time on a nice course is the problem, usually everything left to the last minute :(

Maybe next year I will look into one of the amateur tours (GRT/DUFFER’s). Then At least I would have a regular golf outing and maybe even improve!. Assuming they don’t mind the HH in their league

RobAny day, any time. I'm always up for a round with some new players.

[iyell4]

plays as a single! ... i've always gotten on rather quickly and been joined up with some great peeps.:)

... be polite and keep pace.

[focal]

use torontogolfnuts to line up a game. met three great guys here....and TGN is better casue you can really find REPEAT players as to playing with strangers every time.

as for bad stories. Booked a round with a friend early in the year and he and his wife didn't show. I left his cell number at the office so I couldn't call him, but he didn't call me either...turns out he was driving back on the 400 and it was raining hard and figured it was a rain out. Where we were playing, it was sunny and clear...throughout the round (of course my wife and I played) ...Luckily the club was my home course and they waved the guests fees or I'd be sending him a BILL....needless to say i haven't asked him to play since..

[tjhayko]

I very rarely play as a single, but I will play as a twosome no problem, and my usual group is a threesome, so we often get a four added at the course. I've probably only not played once or twice a year because none of my buddies could make it out.

[overpar]

like some of you here, i gave up on my golfing friends. its just damn hard to get them together. i just show up and as a single or call ahead of time.

ive met some of the nicest people on the course this year. (havent been paired with koreans though :hush: or other rude people who doesnt speak english for that matter...)
my advise to you "monenzad" is just go out yourself. i was reluctant to go out myself before since i've always played with my friends. these days, i'd rather play as a single and meet other golf nuts like me.

You can play on our tour in 2006. Consider yourself invited. The new schedule is almost done and the course lineup is mind blowing. Every course is a true championship course. FYI, we will play the tees closest to 6,900 yards which I believe to be both very playable and challenging. I'll let you know when the 2006 website is done.

[Greywolf]

I agree with many of the comments above, it seems there are lots of people around here who could get together with you for a game. Just post in the "Find playing partners" area and I am sure you will do fine.

I am lucky that my girlfriend loves to play, some people do not like to play with their spouses/partners but I always have someone to go golfing with.

[monenzad]

I have thought of golfing alone many times, but I hate doing things alone. I like to have a partner for competition but I know I will starting playing alone one of these seasons :)

WOW I never knew that is a great idea, do you have the info and pricing yet?

[haribo]

GRT's idea indeed is a good one. As always.

[duffer_devon]

As always, TGN gives equal time:

May I humbly suggest also checking out The Duffer's Dream Tour. The schedule will be up on the website by the end of the month with a list of dates and courses and green fees.

Anyway you slice it playing on one of the Tours will allow you to meet golfer's of similar ability, have a regular scheduled game and a little something on the line.

This year was so much fun and I can't wait until next season.
