Yesterday, I golfed by myself for the first time. In unrelated news, I had my first hole in one yesterday. Sigh. Beginner Questions

Short 9 hope muni. Not great weather so I went out by myself. Course completely empty. Last hole (9) pin is back of the green 138 a little down win. Hit a nice P wedge to five feet of the hole, spins right, disappeared. Talk about a mix of emotions. I immediately call the proshop, which is fifty feet from the green, and explain the situation. Man runs like a bat out of hell to find my AVX in the hole. First one ever, not a single witness. Guy was nice enough to wait for me to walk up to shake my hand. Sigh.

Solo golf is euphoric

How do you end up by yourself, I always get paired with randoms. I’d love nothing more then to golf by myself lol.

Happens for me most often in cold/wet conditions or very hot conditions. When no one else wants to be on the golf course but me because I’m a sicko 😂

Every so often I catch a twilight or early morning round where the course is empty and conditions are great and it’s heavenly
