Finding New Playing Partners

[-Mini-]

How do you find new playing partners in a new city? I am moving and going to be living for the summer in a new city, I won't have college or work to meet anyone. What way have you found new playing partners before?

just set up some tee times as a single. I've had a few players show up and I just offer to play with their group or if they're a single they may want to play with my group. ask if they play that course a lot...I've met a couple players that way.

I'm sure there's local groups that gets together as well that you can find online depending on the city.

what city are you heading to? might find some people here.

Yeah I'm sure you can find someone on here from that city or just goto a course regularly and try to befriend some of the other players that you get groupped with.

Yeah thats what I figured, I would just hang around the club house hit some buckets at the driving range and set up singles and hope they place me with a group or something... I am moving to the dallas fort worth area... so if anyones from around there send me a message

If you can afford it, join a club. Ask the local pro to set you up with a group of members of similar handicaps. You can also sign up for leagues and show up as a single. Just ask the pro shop to pair you with players of similar ability. Another great way to meet golfers is to get a part time job at a golf course as a starter or something.

go to meetup.com and type in golf in the city. like "nyc golf"

I walk on and play as a single quite a bit. My friends do not like to walk so if I want walk, I really have to go out by myself.

For the most part, I have never played with anyone who was rude. I actually enjoy it as much as playing with people I know. It was wierd at first but I have been doing that for years.

I am 16 and i just play with juniors my age that go to my school who are members. I have played with loads of different adults and older guys too though, by entering competitions and getting grouped up with them. If you can, enter a few competitions, you get to know a load of people, so you develop playing partners you enjoy playing with.

Call some of the courses nearby and get the league information. Call the leagues officers and sign up!

Most leagues always welcome new members. Join 2 or 3 and you'll have a docket full of tee times and roster of like minded players.

Post an ad on your local golf course like this;

"I will play anyone with $100 per hole."

I bet you will receive lots calls with lots new playing partners. J/K
