Maybe I misunderstand and I apologize if I did. What you recommend is very wrong.... and should never be done IMO. It is called ghosting. I in fact know a person who lost their golfing privileges for this exact behavior.

I think you will find opportunities to play in smaller groups later in the day. In fact, I just played over at Heron the other day with my Dad. After we were done, he took off and I went and played Pelican by myself. I had the course to myself, it was a beautiful evening and really relaxing.....
