If you love to play golf, there’s a good chance you have a select group of friends who enjoy the sport with you. As with any group of friends, each person likely falls into a category that describes their role in your crew. For fun, consider each of these personality types and the friends who fit their descriptions on the golf course.

The 5 Types of Friends in Your Golf Crew

1. The Over-Achiever

We all have this guy in our lives or on our teams. He’s the one who shows up with the best set of golf clubs wearing the latest in golf attire. He probably ranks up there with professional players, or thinks he does, because he always hits the lowest score on the card. Of course, golf is only his hobby because he’s also great at poker, basketball, and everything else.

2. Mr. Personality

This is the friend who seems to show up only to socialize. He’s the playful jokester who teases everyone about their game, including his own. He’s every bit as happy hanging out in the clubhouse as he is playing a round on the golf course. His teasing isn’t mean-spirited and he’s fun to be around, which makes him popular with everyone.

3. The No-Show

You never know if this friend will show up to play a round or not. He’s always invited to play golf with your crew, but he usually has a reason he can’t make it. It’s odd because he brags about his golf gear and always seems down for a round until it’s time to play. 

4. The Competitor

This friend takes golfing to a whole different level with his fierce competitiveness and drive to beat you. You’re afraid to give him pointers or help because he’ll only use it against you later. 

5. The Methodologist

He calculates his game using the latest training methods, wind speed, distance from the tee, and anything else. He can be over analytical at times, but there’s no denying he usually hits a good game.
