Diane, I have played with people of all different backgrounds from CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, teachers, hedge fund managers, students, social workers, government employees, men and women, and yes even one janitor who used to clean the building where I worked (we were talking one evening and we happened onto the subject of golf). One thing I can say is when I have played with people whether I knew them or simply got paired as a single, by the first few holes you don’t even think about what the person you are playing with does for a living or their socioeconomic background. It’s about you and the game, the beauty of the course, the simple banter back and forth, etc.

That is one of the things I love about this game. I can’t speak for others but that is my personal experience.
