I'm sure we can all list of a myriad of times where your random pairing has gone absolutely terrible. But what about those elusive successes where your random pairing goes great or perhaps, better than great? Tell me about your Ws. Bonus points if your random pairing led to something epic!
I bring this up because yesterday, inexplicably my group of three was paired with a fellow and his wife. We were all walking and it was a hot day, we teed off at 7a but it was 90 degrees by the end. Guy is a good golfer and probably shoots mid 80s from a tee box forward of us, wife maxes out at 100 yards & I thought it was going to be a long day. We finished in 4 hours and were riding the threesome (with individual carts) all day long!! The wife kept pace, was super nice and when she started to tire, she just picked up and moved on.
My greatest story is from a number of years back. Random pairing behind us as we waited on the first tee. Invited them to join us and had a great day playing. Both are now good friends and one is my tournament partner and the one person I've played the most golf with over the last 8 years. Truly one of my best friends.
