Getting caught up here. No, you weren't wrong at all to push back on having a stranger forced upon you. It was prudent and I hope they honored your wishes so you could still play. Hard to believe they would even do that in these times.I went to the course for my regular weekday tee time with the same two other guys I've played with for years. A single shows up and the course wanted to pair him up with us. I declined and when they pushed I said then I could not play. I am in a high risk group other than just because of my age. With my two regulars I know, if, when and where they have traveled, how they are about social distancing, the precautions they take and I know and trust them enough to know if they had the slightest symptoms they would not be there. I know zilch about a stranger. Am I wrong to push back on having a stranger play along with us?
We're still playing here, but sticking strictly to our own small group who we know aren't traveling, are isolating from others, taking precautions and practicing social distancing. Any/all of us would immediately stop playing and isolate if we had even the slightest symptoms of illness.
We've completely excluded one friend from our small circle for now. He's 65 years old, but is a social butterfly and our general consensus is that he's being reckless about it and not taking adequate precautions, so he presents too high of a risk to be around. He's also one of those people who is constantly on the go, can't sit still for more than a minute and is always run down, so he gets sick more often even in normal times. So he doesn't get invited to golf, we don't even tell him when we're playing. Of everybody I know, he's the one I would be least surprised to hear got infected.
