How does one improve one's golf fm flt mate perspective?

excluding the std ones like getting coaching, short game etc etc.....


does one improve if one :

2. Play with better golfers?
3. Play with golfers who are same std as oneself?
4. Play with golfers who are abit lower std as oneself ?
5. Or just rely on Karma?

IMHO respectively

1. Bet during game - This is quite a norm. Nothing beat a little bet to motivate
oneself.
2. Play with better golfers - Personally, in some way it does offer and motivate a
golfer to concentrate and play better.
3. Play with golfers who are same standard as oneself - Yes, it can be enjoyable
and preferred in most cases but sometimes your mind need a little bit of
challenge on the focusing area when you have a better or lower standard
golfer. So it's a mind game.
4. Play with golfers who are a bit lower in standard as oneself - I must say
there's pros and cons, depending on how you interpret it. Sometimes it can
really affect a better player if his flight mates are of lower standard for
various reasons. Again, this will test the better golfers ability to focus on each
and every shot with possible slow plays and etiquette.
5. Or just rely on Karma - I don't understand this question on the reliance on
Karma, but I do belief very strongly in Karma. Do not do unto others what
you do not want others to do to you. Some illustration: a) Did not rake bunker
and as a result other golfers' ball ended up in your footprint and is faced with
a difficult shot. b) Did not repair divot and other golfers' ball ended up in the
divot you created and ended up in it and is faced with a difficult shot. Karma
will take effect, whether you belief it or not, in the outstanding holes or will be
carried over in the foreseeable future.

Cheers!
