Absolutely, some of the best times I've had on a golf course were part of a team related event. Various charity scrambles, club events or our annual work Friday-before-Memorial-Day shamble are always a good time.
Yes, I absolutely love it. I love the comradery that it involves. I'm probably not the norm but I actually really like playing alternate shot. I know that wasn't the question. I love the trying to get us back in it feeling after my partner puts us in a bad spot. Or if I put us in the bad spot, relying on my partner to come through. Then the joy we both feel once we have succeeded.
