Really???? Besides being against the rules and being subject to getting suspended from golf for a while if you are caught, it's just plain rude. What's the reason?? Your group is anti-social?? Ugly??? Suck badly at golf??? Smell bad??? Snobs????

Also realize, that if the powers that be wished to pursue this, they could get your real name from TOTV and then golf club administration could see who your buddies are and apply the appropriate punishment. I play in several groups, and we have never done what you have just admitted to. Sometimes we only have 3 and have met wonderful people when a fourth joins us. Plus, I'm sure there are newbie singles out there looking for tee times and you are shutting them out.

Final thought: Maybe I'll just text my friend who works in golf club administration and is also on TOTV and see what he thinks of your group.
