Last week I went over some of the less than great people to play golf with. This time I wanted to see the good people you have met through golf.
I have met some really good people playing at my childhood course, in New Hampshire during summers, and at my new country club. What makes a good golf partner is basically the same thing as what makes a good friend. They are considerate, funny, and generally fun to be around. Some things they need that a normal friend might not are a disdain for slow play and a love of competition (not too much though).
What makes for a good golf partner to you? Who are some of the good ones you have met at the course?
Jimmy,
Anyone who is positive and has good etiquette is okay with me. I enjoy some stimulating conversation or friendly banter, but I also don’t like it when someone won’t stop talking. And, of course, they keep up with play! That falls under good etiquette though.
Cheers

I agree Josh. I have met some long time friends at the golf course. They are almost all fast players and most don’t talk too much, haha!
Jimmy,
Golfers who are interesting to talk to and easy to get along with are at the top of my list.
I have golfer with many awesome people. Col Robert Springer, astronaut, was one of the more interesting.
Cheers
Jim
Thanks for chiming in Jim!
