Since no one else in my family plays, I often show up as a single and get randomly paired with 1 or more strangers.  In the almost 40 years that I have been playing golf, there have only been a very small handful of instances that I was paired with someone with whom I could not find common interests.  In most cases, I genuinely enjoy getting to know my playing partners &#8211; well, at least as much as you can get to know someone in 4-ish hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe that one of the secrets to being a good playing partner on the golf course is to not take yourself or the game too seriously.  Even more importantly, practice proper golf etiquette and never give anyone a reason to think that you are a slow player.  As the saying goes, &#8220;Even if you&#8217;re playing bad, make sure that you play bad fast.&#8221;  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Me My name is Wally Dennis and I currently live in Marietta, GA.
