You get to spend time together strolling in the great outdoors and having good conversation &#8211; all while you&#8217;re enjoying the game you love. Nothing could be better than that, right?<\/p>\n<p>Unless, of course, you&#8217;re not enjoying it at all.<\/p>\n<p>Have you even noticed foursomes are typically comprised of golfers with similar handicaps? Sure, you might find a 15 handicap playing with a few 20+ handicaps. Or you might find a 10 playing with a 4 or 6 handicapper. But for the most part, the skill level of the group is typically on par (pardon the pun).<\/p>\n<p>What you rarely see is a 1 or 2 handicap seriously engaged in their game while his three companions are hacking-up the course behind him. While there might be the rare exception (or a chance paring by the starter at the first tee), this is not something typically seen in a tight-knit foursome.<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s like this for one reason: Vast differences in skill-levels within foursomes ultimately leads to frustration and\/or resentment by one or more in the group. Now some of you might be thinking; &#8220;I actually like playing with someone better than me because it makes me step-up my game.&#8221; Sure &#8211; that makes sense&#8230;If you are say an 18 handicap and you&#8217;re playing with a 10 handicap. But have that 18 consistently play with a 1 or 2 handicap and then see how much fun they&#8217;re having. After a while, many golfers will leave the group to play with someone &#8220;more their speed&#8221; (sound familiar)?<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, the lower handicapper will complain all the poor play surrounding them is actually bringing down their game. Constantly waiting on someone while they hack-up the course with a blas\u00e9 attitude will start to have phycological affects on you &#8211; and as a result, you might adopt (even subliminally) the same blas\u00e9 attitude (leading to higher scores).<\/p>\n<p>So the end result of this is four golfers of similar skill-levels typically end up playing together (birds of a feather&#8230;).<\/p>\n<p>For example: I have an 18 handicap and have played with scratch golfers. While those rounds have been cordial, they have rarely been friendly. There&#8217;s usually little conversation and mostly this is due to the scratch golfer trying to focus on his game while at the same time ignoring mine!<\/p>\n<p>Now don&#8217;t get me wrong, I&#8217;m not saying scratch golfers are jerks &#8211; it&#8217;s just they are in a completely different frame of mind than I am. They are trying to tame the course and much of their focus during the round is on doing just that. But they have the game to pull it off.<\/p>\n<p>I, on the other hand, do not. I am there solely to have fun. If I shank one in the woods or get 3 doubles in a row, it&#8217;s not going to ruin my day (though I&#8217;ll most likely be upset at the time). But what&#8217;s far more important to me is just being out on the course and enjoying my round the only way I know how: By simply playing.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, I tend to gravitate toward golfers of a similar mindset (and subsequently, a similar handicap &#8211; like my GolfStinks pals). I don&#8217;t think this is a bad thing &#8211; it&#8217;s just human nature. So if you feel like you&#8217;re not enjoying golf because your foursome isn&#8217;t at the same level you are (regardless of if you&#8217;re the lower handicap or the higher), don&#8217;t be afraid to play elsewhere (even if these people are friends). If you&#8217;re ultimately not having fun, it&#8217;s probably time to make a change. I&#8217;ll bet the rest of the group will end up enjoying their games more too.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s great when you have friends that also golf.
