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.

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.
What I Play:
Wilson Mini Stand Bag | PING G10, 10.5°, Proforce V2 HL S | PING G5, 15°, 18°, Aldila NV 75 S | PING G5, 19°, Aldila VS Proto By You 80 S
Mizuno MX200 4-PW S | Ping Tour W 50/12 X | Ping Tour W 58/TS X | A selection of putters, all 35.5 inches.

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

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.

      Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
