anyone ever gone on a golf trip alone?

Until recently I would take a yearly mid-September trip to Northern Michigan by myself for a 2 day golf trip. It's a beautiful time of the year for golf in Michigan, rates are down and the courses up there are nearly empty. I love playing by myself and enjoying the wonderful holes and scenery.

I've never done a golf trip alone but I did play my first round alone ever this afternoon. I have always been a little hesitant to go alone or play with someone I didn't know because I was worried I wouldn't be good enough or piss them off somehow by breaking some rule, etc. I wanted to play real bad this week and no one else could sneak away so I said screw it and went alone. I actually played the front 9 by my self and then caught up with a couple who was in front of me and we finished the back together. Playing alone though I noticed that I was playing extremely fast and I felt like I was running around the course. I kept telling myself to slow down but couldn't. It was almost a relief to play the back with the other couple and my score showed it. Anyone else ever feel that way???

I play golf alone a lot at my local course. If the course is open, I tend to rush the shots. It's like racing with myself even if no one is behind me. However; if I got paired up with some other folks, I tend to play better golf.
