Dianes thread has me asking this question. Do you find yourself playing worse when paired with someone who isn't very good? If they are hacking up the course & normally you are fairly even keeled, do you find yourself mimmicking them & stinking the place up?

Unfortunately, that does become a problem.

The only exception is if that person - despite their ineptitude - is still very much "into" playing and respects the game, the course, etc. These people are rare, but they do exist and it's their enthusiasm that tends to save the day. I don't necessarily find myself mimicking them or playing very poorly as much as I just tend to lose interest. It's basically more of a buzzkill than anything else.

But all in all, I'd much rather play with people whose games are at least equal to mine, but preferably better than mine because I end up playing better and I learn more from watching or "chasing" them.
