When playing as a single, I have learned the hard way to avoid joining threesomes that are part of a group. It’s not unusual to see a few threesomes stacked up for the first tee times of the afternoon wave, which is the tell tale sign of a group. They hope no one will join them, which holds an open space for group members that might show up unscheduled, and sometimes are not very welcoming to golfers outside their group joining them. When playing as a single, it is very unusual to not enjoy the company of fellow golfers, with that one exception.
