etiquette question

[jcbenefiel]

so i tend to play by myself alot becuase i like to walk and live next to the course so i can just go ge on as a walkon without a tee time.

but what ends up happening is i play alot faster then most 4somes in front of me im never rude or make a fuss about haveing to wait since i understand im the one pushing them and there just not playing slow. but what happens at times is the invite me to hit the next whole with them and so i play the single whole with the group thank them and dont know what to do next do i let them play infront of me from then on do i just go on by myself infront of them or am i now obligated to joint them for the remainder of the round. most times they tell me to go ahead or ask if i would like to join but im just not sure for the awkward time when its not stated. what would you do

I play by myself but to avoid waiting for foursomes I play when there aren't many of them around.  Late afternoons on weekends is a good time.

They're inviting you to play through. Thank them for their courtesy, putt out and move on as quickly as possible without waiting for them. You get through, and don't even slow them up.
