it's just different, yo.

What if 18 groups of people showed up all at once to play at a course, in a non-tournament situation? Would it really make more sense for EVERYONE to wait for their turn at #1, while the rest of the course was sitting empty? Of course not, that'd be silly and a waste of a lot of people's time.
(And for the record, if I was playing with a group of 5 or 6 or 8, god forbid, I probably
wouldn't jump into the middle of a course. But I don't like playing in groups of more than three.)
