There is no more etiquette apparently. Might as well join them as you obviously cannot beat them.
Was he a single?
Were you a single?
I have played behind singles who have played two balls a hole, and providing they keep up with the group in front and did not slow our progress, I honestly see no problem.
On other occasions we always offer a single to join us if we are a threesome, or a pair.
