I most often golf as a single walk on early in the am of a sat or sun morning. So of course usually it's with golfers I meet for the first time. Most all have always been very nice, friendly and a pleasure to play along side of. I am easy going, like to be friendly and even have a few laughs while playing a round and usually manage that with most strangers.

But- Every so often you end up with someone who is just not pleasant to be around or worse and can kind of put a damper on your enjoyment of being out on the course that day.

Just one example of many for me was the day one of the guys in the group ( all 4 singles) was a real snobby and arrogant guy with an atitude. Started out on the phone with his buddies on like every other hole to tell them out loud about his great play. Where he was going to play the next day and how well he golffed the other day.

Then at one point , one of the other guys in the group made an honest mistake of hitting this guys ball while the two balls were very close together in the left ruff. The guy just didn't realize that he had hit his drive to almost the same spot. I have seen this happen before, although very rare it has happened to me in the past and i have also done it once or twice through all the years as well. In any case this arrogant snob really made a big stink about it. And I was like " hey man, come on, it was just an honest mistake".

Now a few holes later. The other guy (a different one) in the group had just finished putting and was now standing behind this arrogant snob but in his rear view as he was lining up his put. Most people including myself would have just said pleasantly something like " please move over" or perhaps "would you mind movng please" etc.... But no, not this guy, this dweebie rich, arrogant snob, said something (dont exqactly recall) but it was pretty sarcastic and rude and just let it be known how very upset about it he was. The other guy just said. "Ok, take it easy, no problem". And respectfully moved on.

I mean what the heck. Most all the time things go very well but that just one example when they don't and there are other stories I can tell but you get the drift.
Have any you experienced bad days with strangers you paired up with and/or how often. Or anything you may like to add about goflng with strangers. Just curious on your thoughts, or stories if any.
I see this guy all the time yet he is playing as single. Not to say people who play as singles don't have friends but if you're so enthralled to tell your friends about it why not just play with them?
