I'd give him another chance and put him on a cart with dax, after a few times with the rest of the group might just be what is needed to get things gelling.

So we had a weird situation pop up two weekends ago while playing. I have a normal threesome that I play with each weekend and we've been searching for a consistent 4th to fill our group.
One of the guys in my group had gone out and been paired up as a twosome with a new member at the course and nothing seemed off according to my buddy Dax. So at the end of the round they exchanged numbers and Dax invited him out with us a couple of weeks ago.
Dax and I had been paired up in a cart and our normal 3rd guy also had his own cart. The three of us had hit some balls on the range to loosen up and I was asking if anyone has seen our 4th and no one had to this point. So we pull up to the putting green to roll a few balls and there is our 4th and he was in his own cart as well and now we've got 3 carts. We then get let know we are next on the tee and are asked by the cart guy to reduce down to two carts. Our 3rd guy grabs his stuff to load on with the new 4th and he says he wants his own cart and gives no reason as to why he wanted to ride alone and our 3rd jokingly asked did he forget to shower as he walked back to the other cart. To top it all off he was pretty much anti social the entire round.
How would you feel if this happened? Would you invite the guy back out? I mean if the cart guy asks you to reduce down to two carts, shouldn't you honor the request?

Having your own cart is completely different. But when people aren't pairing up and they are taking the course's carts, that's a problem.Sounds like the guy is not very fun to play golf with so I would avoid him. Life is too short to play golf with people you don't like.
At my club, it's super common for a foursome to have 3 or even 4 carts because about 150 of the 400 members like me have their own cart and drive it to the course. There is a regular fivesome of retired guys that often go out with all 5 carts. They are alarming to new members until they realize they rarely take more than 3 hours to finish a round. I really enjoy playing in this 5 cart group - they all play ready golf and on every hole it's sort of a contest to not be the last one to the putting surface.
