I had a an epiphany on the course yesterday. I need new golf friends. Don't get me wrong - I like the people I play with - well most of the time - but they are wrapped too tightly on the course. If someone gets mad, I usually ignore it, but I'm finding that harder to do lately and it is affecting my game. I've decided Aesop was correct - familiarity breeds contempt - on the course at least. I'm thinking I should go as a single and play with strangers for a bit. If they behave badly - no harm no foul because I won't see them again. Any suggestions?

I play quite often as a single. At the local munis, I just show up and tell them to put me with the first available group. I have had many pleasant rounds that way.

Also, I would check "Golf Now" or "EZLinks" for available tee times with only one or two slots available. That way you are assured of not playing alone. I have used those methods effectively to find new golfing partners.
