Dale
The 6:04 AM Walker
61. Towel on each side of the bag. Arrives at 5:30. Two hot dogs before the turn. Pull cart, never a cart cart. Speaks rarely; answers permanently.
Ask the Single
Short for Ask the Solo Golfer Who Joined Your Group — a rotating advice column. A different single answers each time. Dale is only one of them.
The cast
Fictional regulars who rotate through the column. WITB spreads for Brayden, Linda, the Ghost, and Chad are still on the workbench.
Brayden
Bluetooth & No Wedges
24. Speaker on the cart, wedges somehow optional. Unexpectedly considerate when the volume comes down on the green.
Linda
The League Ringer
67. Retired PE teacher. Plays to a 6 from the whites. Answers of six words or fewer. Then she takes everyone's money.
The Twilight Rate Ghost
Dusk Specialist
Shows up after 4:30. Pays twilight. Plays free rounds in spirit. Nobody has a clear photo. Everybody has a story.
Chad from Sales
Foursome Bailed
Got left at the starter hut when the group chat went quiet. Still somehow has a sleeve of Pro V1s and a story about Q4.
Tanner
The Bartender
35. Same Ping carry bag from high school. Scratch-ish when he cares. Never practices. Do not ask him to keep score.
