My advice for a friendless high-handicapper is to strictly play Pitch & Puts and Muni courses. People there tend to be more laid back, more friendly and less concerned with poor play. Go to your local P&P; with a 6 pack on a Sunday afternoon, and watch the friends come to you.

Ain't the internet wonnerful to encourage such honesty. Warfish, you remind me of me. Those same concerns keep me off the course.

Of the hundreds of rounds I've been paired up with someone at a muni, I can think of only one or two times that I really didn't care for the people I was playing with. Usually if you haunt the same courses a lot, you will get to know the other regulars and make pretty decent friends. The best advice for playing pick up golf is this: No one will remember how you played, but they will remember how you acted when you played. Don't worry about scoring too much, just have a good attitude and don't slow the group down and no one will have a problem playing with you.

    • Buddy… Bolding and capitalizing one word out of over 120 is not yelling. And seriously, be a student of history or something. The U.S. Open often gets harder as it goes on. -5 might end up as the winning score. Plus, there wasn't a ton of wind today. And… these players are pretty good. The "these courses are too easy" takes can just go away. We've had enough with one person's perpetual posts on that topic, we don't need another.
    • First, thanks for capitalizing and using bold print for the word “facts.”    That was helpful.   Second, it must be a “fact” that the score relative to par today had nothing to do with the quality of the entire US Open field vs the quality of the entire Memorial field on day one.   Again, thanks for the text equivalent of yelling.    
    • Hell yes! They want their shoes to match their purse…well…our 3W has to match the driver! That’s just standard protocol!
