Wife and I joined a country club (no pics). She loves golf and was on a state championship team in high school but stopped playing for years due to work. Post pandemic, she wanted to join to get the kids involved. I'm a terrible golfer and shoot 60 on nine holes but I play fast so I can maintain proper play pace. I kind of like golf, but don't have the love to really work at my game. Nor do I care to put the time in. It's about the 25th thing on my list I would prefer to do with my free time.
Fast forward, my wife's commitment was to slow down at work and take some time for herself. She wants to spend time golfing. I sort of looked at as a way we could spend a few hours together and she would be happy. Anyway we have a 350 tee time. There is no one behind us. The country club allows you to schedule in empty spots to maximize member access. Some dude, total stranger, schedules with us rather than take the tee time 12 minutes later. I think it's a bit odd.
