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.
I couldn't agree more! It is hard to "fill in" with a group or threesome and some are not welcoming. Unfortunately I have been on the other side on numerous occasions where an "add on" golfer joins our group and acts like he/she wants to take over. I don't know if they just want to fit in, but good advice would be if you are a "fill in", take it slow and see how the group dynamics work before you offer anything. It would serve you well.
