feel people are watching you thinking ''oh that lonely person does not have a partner''. Is it okay to ask if you can join people already on the course ordoes that get bad reaction. l bought expensive clubs and l really need practice but do not have golf partner. My fiancee hates golf. So l thought l could go myself. Is this allowed at Golf clubs. Do they allow you to play with yourself? Thanks
Also does it look weird someone carrying golf bag and clubs by myself - would l stand out

l play be myself all the time. It is a good way to practice, and you can hit more than one ball on each shot. l like it because it is so fast. In a hectic lifestyle, time is money, and l need all the time l can get. Also it is a good way to meet people. there will always be someone who is also by themselves, and want to play with you. Have fun and do not worry about feeling out of place. There are plenty of golfers like us!

l would be careful how you phrase your question. It would be better to say play BY yourself

EDIT- EDIT Please

You are in for a mauling especially blokes

Your name sounds foreign so please message me and l will explain the problem with your question

Jesus!!!!

l am glad l am not the only person who found this question very funny!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe you should rephrase it, say ''play by yourself, '' not ''Play with yourself''. The two have very different meanings

l often play with myself out on the goplf course and l do get a lot of stares because people dont expect to see that sort of thing out on the golf course. l get even odder stares when l ask them if they would like to join me. l think the best place to play with yourself is in the bedroom.

l think you mean play by yourself not play with yourself. Playing with yourself on a golf course would be a bit rude

Do not be insecure. People play by themselves all the time. Some feel less pressure, not more.

l play by myself all the time, but l always end up playing with somebody right before the back 9. It is a good way to practice, and you can hit more than one ball on each shot. Do not carry your bag get a push cart . If you live here in Jersey we can play ''GOLF'' together if you want.

You might find that ur game improves faster if u spend time practicing on a driving range & at a short game area. Until u have some consistency in ur shots, that might be the best use of ur time.

Most courses will attempt to put u in a group with openings to keep their open tee times available for foursomes that might call in. You r going to want to be able to move around pretty well if u get paired up with others. If u r not hitting well, be prepared to pick up ur ball so ur group can keep pace with the group in front of you.

If there are players behind or in front of you, aske to join them if you like. otherwise, by yourself is fine.

l just started a membership at a different club and slowly getting to know other golfers

for the jokers . my hand is in my pocket to keep the hand warm on cold days

If u r enjoying ur game & playing well, no one is going to notice. Do not worry about what people think about u being there. l see singles on the course all the time.

The one problem u may encounter is a single will play much faster than a foursome. A single player has less 'rights' on the course & could be turned down after asking if they could play through. My partners & l do not have a problem letting people play through, but others do. Especially a group of gezzer golfers.

Sometimes l take a day off during the middle of the week when the golf course is not busy & go play a round on my own. It is a great way for me to practice because l can hit two balls. l also enjoy playing alone because l can get away from the hectic everyday routine & relax.it is pretty peaceful in my opinion.

No, it does not look weird seeing one person carrying their own bags.

By the way, if the course is busy & u r alone, chances r that they will pair u up with another group to speed up play.

Do we ever play with ourselves on a golf course? Wait, l have a dirty mind!!!

Yes, l have played BY myself in golf. Usually, l will get paired up with others to make a foursome. l have actuallybeen pretty lucky and have been matched up with some pretty nice folks. Some have offered me tips and others we have exchanged numbers to meet again on a course

It is ok to play by yourself. Just make sure you go to a course when it is not that busy. You do not want to go on a Saturday morning. Go in the afternoons or during the week and play. A lot of times you will meet nice people and play with them. If you are in the Orlando area, l am always looking for a playing partner.

l enjoy playing alone as l have no distractions. You should not feel odd playing alone, if the course is not busy they will allow it. If they are crowded, expect to get paired up with others.

u think that is bad, being an adult & golfing by yourself? just think of being an 11 yr old & having no friends that also enjoyed golf so u had to tag along with ur father.
now think of the anxiety u felt teeing off in front of all those adults u thought were ''pros''? ignoring the fact that there were many on the course l probably out drove at that time. ;)
over time l have learned that there r no rules u have to follow on public courses only that of the course rules, & overall etiquette. keeping score, having to pair up with people, being a ''pro'' so u r not laughed at, etc etc all go out the window. enjoy the game the way u want to on the golf course.

as for golfing by yourself, the only issue u will have is finding a tee time that will not slow the players behind you, or do not rush the players in front of you. in other words go early in the mornings or when twilight rates start. basically on the weekdays. u likely find an opening to play by yourself.

People play by themselves all the time, not weird at all. l do suggest going during the middle of the day though so you do not get paired up with anyone. My first time out l got paired up with a couple of guys that were extremely rude to me because l was not all that good. l still played better than them on a couple of holes, but overall, they killed the experience.

l believe it spoils your game if you play by yourself on the course. You invariably lift your head looking for the ball. If l want to practice l either go onto the practice area or use a driving range.

Try to act all professional, like studying the ball and lie. This makes it look like your off a low handicap, needing to constantly practise.
l do this all the time, and it makes me look good.

l play by my self alot, sometimes its nicer cause you have time to think and relax, sometimes ill just ask can l join you and like wise somethimes people ask me but there is no problem playing by your self, or at least no one thinks your lonely! its part of what makes gold great! being able to go out by your self or 3 of your best buds! :-)
