Yup. I've done it a lot. I've yet to play with anyone I wouldn't want to play with again...
One time, I was hooked up with a husband and wife. Not my first choice, but what the hell, make the best of it. They were a lovely couple with a wicked sense of humor...
I was playing a course I hadn't played before and I was relying on my partners for directional advice. On one of the par 5s, I hit a nice drive, then CRUSHED a 3 wood down the left side of the fairway... I got an "Oooh, that's gonna' be trouble! There's water over there..." Yeah, I was in the lake...
"NOW you tell me???' I replied... "Thanks for the tip!"
On the next hole, a par 3, there was a lake RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE GREEN... He piped up, "Watch out for the water!" With a sly grin on his face... I won't say what I called him, but his wife was howling, saying "You sure got him pegged!" It was like I had known them for years...
The entire round went this way. One of the best rounds I've had in years!
