I wouldn't feel guilty. If I were to ask to join another group and they declined, I would realize it was for a good reason or they were a jerk. Fine either way.

If I'm playing alone and I catch up with a short-handed group on a full course and they invite me to play through, I'll usually just ask if they mind if I join them.  If they decline, then I'll usually decline to pass them.  I'd rather wait behind a smaller group than behind a full foursome, because they will usually clear the green faster.  That way I have less time waiting around while they putt out.  For me, it's easier on my psyche to wait on the tee than it is to wait in the fairway.

And besides, that way I can stand there behind them and stare them down all the way around the course to make them regret not inviting me to join them. :smartass:

Have you talked to your wife about this? Bring it up in the clubhouse after a round, especially if other women are at the table.

This is about "sharing the culture." You may appear confrontational if you suddenly bring it up on course.

Focus, connect and follow through!

My wife is the extrovert and I'm the introvert so I'm less comfortable than she is pairing up with strangers - but I definitely invite the other twosome to join up every time.  It's the just the sensible thing to do and, even though I'm usually uncomfortable at first, it's always a good time.  Put it this way . .it's a LOT more comfortable than knowing people are waiting on me for each shot.  Even though it's not my fault they're waiting, I'd rather have a comfortable pace of play vs the group behind waiting on us while we wait on the group ahead.

When I started playing I was nervous about playing with other people. I play a lot by myself but now enjoy it when I have the oppurtunity to ask someone if they'd like to play together, or be asked to play with others. I put it out there that I'm not very good so take it or leave it & every time so far I've had a good time even making some new golf buddies. I've learned that there's pretty good odds that they probably aren't any better than me. There's way more bad golfers than good ones

    • Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though. 
    • Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part. 
    • FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.
    • I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
    • I've played the Tour in both white and yellow.  They play well and seem to hold up pretty good even when running into trees or cart paths.  Right now, I've been trying them against the Bridgestone Tour B RX ball and I really like both.  The Snell 3.0 looks to be a great update to the issues Snell was running into with the previous generation.
