Once or twice a year I get invited to play in a golf outing. Usually, a group has a fourth who can’t make it last minute and I get the replacement call. On the one hand, it’s great to be able to play for free at a country club with all the food and booze I want. On the other hand, I’m usually 3rd or 4th on the list. Basically, “we like you, but you’re not really in our top four people we like”. It’s all good, I don’t need BFF’s, I need free golf. Most outings are at a fairly nice country club.
