Showing up at a golf course with out a tee time, is like showing up at a drop in hair salon with out an appt. I'm sure a lot of us know what that is like? How I remember the group of four kids in front of me, or three perms under the hair drier. Sitting there eyeing the hairdresser hoping that you'll get squeezed in. Same thing on the golf course, except your eyeing the pro for the wave.

Getting squeezed into a group of golfers ahead of you can be quite challenging at times, especially, if all foursomes are showing up to play. You can't wander off to practice. The minute you wander off to practice is typically when you get the call to join a threesome. I don't know why that always happens? Your best bet is to lurk around the practice green and wait for a golfer to mention that Fred or Mike can't make it. A lot of times they won't mention it to the pro at the shop, thinking they may get hooked up with a bad golfer or what you may call a hacker golfer. The minute you hear Fred or Mike can't make it, that is when you say nonchalantly. By the way, my players are going to be late and I haven't got time to wait. Do you ...
... mind if I join in?

Now having a tee time is a completely different ball game. You walk into the pro shop proud and call out your last name. The pro looks at you and says 10 minutes. Just think. When you have a tee time and even when you're alone, the pro is doing the walking around looking for a group for you to tee it up with. No golf course wants you playing alone when it is busy. When they can't find one. You still get to play at your time slot. The pro will tell you to join up with a threesome or twosome a couple of holes ahead. Your king when you have a tee time, especially if you're playing alone. Everybody is waving you through.

Trust me on this one. When you have a tee time booked. The pro will find you a group or players to play with. No golf course wants you flying through the golf course alone, if they can avoid it.

In closing I would like to say, if you have a bad day at the hair salon, don't take it with you on the golf course. Please book ahead.
