Playing 9 or 18 by yourself.

That's the beauty of golf. You don't need a partner to play it.

I do it almost every time by myself man. I work 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off so I have a lot more free time that most and I utilize it on the lake and the course, both of which I tend to do when others are at work which makes it very peaceful. 

I prefer playing by myself. Nothing else to do than play the darn game! Feels great!

I like to play 9 by myself occasionally to help my game.  I work on decision making and playing actual conditions similar to what I would encounter in league play.

I play by myself all the time.  Granted, its more fun to play with other people but playing alone beats not playing at all.

I show up as a single most of the time, and often get picked up by a group with a no-show or a couple playing alone.

About half the time I have a round scheduled with someone, they cancel out so they can clean the garage or go into work on their day off.

If you have a home course, the starter may be able to help you find people to play with.

When I worked afternoons I would occasionally play 9 before work. It lets me get out when the course is empty to work on things I need to work on. Maybe take a couple shots, a few putts.

I play rounds by myself quite a few times a week.  It's awesome to be out by yourself, especially when the course is nearly empty near the end of the day.

Almost every round I've played so far had been by myself. It still makes me nervous to play with someone, I can barely hit my driver with someone watching me. I do putt better with someone watching though.

I work at a golf course and I will go out late in the afternoon and find an open spot on the course and play a few holes. Lots of times I am working on something specific in my game so I will throw down 4-5 balls and hit a specific shot over and over. You can't really do that when playing with others.

i enjoy playing by myself.  It gives me time to really work on my game.  If I hit a bad shot, i drop a new one and figure out what i did wrong.  I can practice my chips around the green, putting, trap shot.  It is great.  You can listen to your music, with earbuds of course, and most importantly enjoy the course. 

I seem to actually play better when playing with people II don't know. Without the 4 hr conversation I focus on just golf.

Play probably half of my time on the course solo. It has its ups and downs, though. I agree with the post above about not playing as well solo. I would say a solo round is generally about 5 strokes higher than if I have a playing partner. But I do like being able to play multiple balls to get a little on course practice, work on my swing without feeling rushed. I tried listening to headphones on the course playing solo after reading another thread on here, and didn't really like it. But I play quite a bit of spur of the moment golf, and I really don't mind playing alone.

I'm by myself on the course most times.  Last couple of times, I never saw another golfer.  Pretty peaceful out there.
