If you are a single golfer and considering trying a personal ad, you may want think about how to write a great ad that will give you a great repsonse. Golf is a great way for people to get to know each other and if you are prepared to put in a little time, you can increase your chances of finding someone who shares your passion for golf. There are many ways to meet other golfers, from specialized online dating websites to just hanging around the golf course.

The first thing you need to know, and this goes for anyone whether or not they are a golfer is to know what you are looking for. There is no point putting something out there that isn't what you want because this will just lead to a lot wasted time hearing from people who are looking for something you are not. Be honest and don't be afraid to put down what you really want.

It's also usually a good idea to put down what type of golfer you are looking for. Some people don't mind playing golf with a hacker who is lucky if they ever sink a putt or get on the green. Others don't have the patience for that and want someone who can keep up with them and play a good game. If you don't know your handicap, just list the score that you usually play to on an average round of golf.

Include a photo and make sure it is recent if possible. Study after study shows that online dating profiles that have pictures fare much better and receive a much greater response than those without a picture. Don't be timid on this one, it really makes a difference. Just remember that hopefully you will be meeting someone someday who will have your photo image in mind so be honest here as well.

Above all, you have to be honest with yourself and honest with the people you are hoping to meet. Starting any relationship based on small white lies or trying to be something you are not will only come back to haunt you sooner or later. Go golfing and have fun.
