How are solos viewed, from courses perspective? I sometimes wonder if we create more trouble with booking or if we’re on the opposite pretty convenient for completing foursomes. I have nobody to play with, usually, as almost nobody I know plays, and the ones that do live pretty far, so I’m booking solo 99% of the time. Booking solo with some of my local courses seems almost impossible outside late afternoon, which I can’t really do often, having young kids.
There is a pecking order for early tee times where I work. Country Club members get priority. But if a single calls and I can add to a 2 or 3 somesome then that single gets one of the preferential tee times. The rules at least where I work are to always fill the holes and try to make foursomes. On the other hand if a single calls several days in advance I am hesitant to put them alone in an empty early tee time. Best way to go for a single is to call the day before or day of play. By then there have to be tee times already booked that are not foursomes and the single should be added rather than pushing them off to an empty slot in the afternoon.
