Playing by yourself

[BostonSully]

About to head out and play 9 Solo at the nearest par3. This is only my second time in 3years of golfing heading out by myself. But I really want to play serious and cant find anyone else around right now.

So I was wondering how often do you go out to play solo, or if not having anyone to go with means no golf for you?

I play alone quite regularly. Its not bad at all, and can be very relaxing.

I play solo often. It allows me to play at my own pace. Also, I can focus a little more on my game when I'm working on something. Which I've been doing quite a bit lately as I'm trying to change my swing and get more consistent.

Cool thanks guys, I did find it extremely relaxing the last time I went. Only a pair of 17yo begginers had to rush out to the frst tee before me last time. Then they took about 3 swings each to make it the first 150yds or so. I played about 4-5balls a hole that day it was alot of fun. But I was wiped out by the 7th hole and just left haha.

I probably head out solo 2/3 of the time.

Played today as single, first time in long time. Have to say I think it helped me.
I wasn't having to worry with other players only myself.Plus, it was quick, did 18 in 3 hours, that I loved.
It was fairly relaxing until I hit a 6,6 an a 7 stretch on the back lol but other than that, it was good.
Hope you enjoy it as I did.
I'll probably go solo more often.

I play solo about half the time I play. I find it to be very relaxing. When I first started doing it I was a little worried about being paired with someone I don't know but I'm pretty much over that now.

I play solo 99% of the time. I actually prefer to play solo because it gives me some quiet time to clear my mind or forget about the stresses of day to day life.

There's a small course on my way home from the office that I play by myself once a week. As a few others here have said, I find it very relaxing.

I like playing solo. I can keep my own pace and rhythm and have minimal distractions. I don't mind playing with others, but my best (and fastest) rounds are solo. It definitely doesn't hinder me from going out.

I play solo about 1% of the time. I did like being able to put a headphone in one ear, and listen to music in the evening whilst playing on a near empty course.

Goes for me too

I've only played solo thus far, as I don't really have any golfing acquaintances. I don't know any different, really.

I prefer playing with others, but a lot of the time I walk the course alone. Not the largest community here.

[holeinon3]

I don't play much by myself since I have a brother who golfs, but when I do I really enjoy it.

[Paradox]

I play solo about half the time, usually. Got a lot of golfing buddies but they have a lot of excuses not to play, haha.

I figure that if I'm spending money on a membership, I'm gonna play one way or the other.

Was a good time. Only once again I noticed that there were about 2 groups infront me duffing away. Yet this course you can see 7,8,9 which come right back to 1. So I asked the guy in the clubhouse if I could jump on 7 he said "idk theres a group chipping on 6, wait for them". So I watched them for 30 seconds and said yeah not waiting for that.

I was hitting on 9 by the time they got to 7 lol and when I got to one there was no other groups around worked perfect shot a 34 and got out quick. Cant say I would have enjoyed it if I had to wait for those groups they wanted me too though.

I almost always go by myself, whether or not I get paired up is more circumstantial.
