During a social event, who should create groupings of players?

The players themselves are best suited to create groupings during a social event because they have a direct understanding of their own preferences and comfort levels. This can include factors such as skill level, friendships, and various dynamics that make a social gathering enjoyable. Allowing players to organize themselves fosters a relaxed atmosphere, encourages social interaction, and can lead to better engagement during the event.

In contrast, others involved, like the tournament committee, event manager, or a professional golfer, may not have the personal insights or relationships among the players that inform optimal groupings. Their involvement could lead to groupings that do not align with players' desires for companionship or competitive interest, which could diminish the overall experience of the event.
