Golfers looking for love, or maybe just someone to share a cart with, can get some assistance from the Internet. A golf course is a great place to get to know someone, but first you have to find someone who likes to golf. Whether the person becomes a regular golf date or you end up dating seriously is up to you. Check these sites out to help get you started. At golfmates.com you can check out photos of persons of interest, learn who their favorite golfer is and see what club they like to hit. Other ancillary things like religion, age, body type and whether they have kids offers additional hints to what the person is all about. If skill level is important, you can even pick the handicap range for a potential playing partner. On match.com you can perform an advanced search to find golfers. They don’t offer many details as it relates to golf, but the basics about the person are there and you can sort by golf enthusiasts, which weeds out non-golfers. Not ready to take it one-on-one quite yet? The Athletic Singles Association (athleticsingles.com) brings single people together who love sports. Golf is one of the outings they organize, and whether it’s a weekly tee time, a clinic or some activities after the round, there is always something going on where singles can mingle. LA Golf Singles (lagolfsingles.org) brings golf enthusiasts together from Santa Barbara to San Diego. The company schedules more than 50 golf days a year, mostly on the weekends, for people who want to meet and hit the links. The site is well-organized and great golf courses are on the agenda. All you do is sign up and they put the groups together, get the tee times and set up a social outing before or after the round. — MARCI DuBOIS |
