I can golf with or without people. either way is good.

The whole reason I started golfing was, I was in a beer league mixed baseball team. Super fun, had lots of good times, but after awhile less and less people were showing up, until we were forfeiting games, and finally merged with another half team, who had some real pricks on it. The next year, we didn't have a team. I decided I needed something to do, that I didn't need to depend on others. Golf, the perfect solution. Sure, I'd like to have a few good friends that were into it as much as me, and had lots of time, but that just isn't working out. Also a lot of people I know who do golf prefer really easy courses, and I hate those courses.

I'd say most of the actual "golf" I've played was as a single. When I was single and could play whenever I felt like it I went almost exclusively as a single player. Really it's ideal when you are trying to play some good golf. Other than a few "nice shot" comments you are just out there on your own thinking golf. I enjoy going out with the buddies/relatives but it's a social occasion. If I'm working on my golf game I'd rather be out there with people I don't know.
