Like MacDaddy, I'd buy for my group as we're the ones experiencing and celebrating the moment. Makes way more sense.
It does depend on your situation and where you are. If I was at my club, I’m definitely opening a tab and paying. But at the same time if someone at the club got a hole in one and I didn’t know them, I wouldn’t have a beer on their tab.

If I was playing somewhere else though, I’d think twice before I just bought drinks for a bunch of random strangers.
