    Re: How often do we all play?

    Just to confirm what I wrote in my blog, for those that don't frequent that area, I try to play every day. 18 holes if possible, 9 if not. If I'm really, really stuck for time, I play 4. Occasionally (once a month?) I can't get to my home course, so I'll tend to go the range instead, but I'd always rather not - I'd always rather be out there on the course.

    I've played 96 18-hole rounds of golf since 5th April (28 weeks, at the time of writing), and many many 9 hole rounds other than this.

    I realise this is unusual, but I'm extremely fortunate that being self-employed, I'm able to schedule my commitments to facilitate this. It also helps that my 9 hole municipal course costs me £22 (perhaps $38) per month for unlimited play, so I make damned sure to get my money's worth!

    How about everyone else?

      I try to play twice a week all year and I guess it averages at something like that. During the summer I manage an evening game midweek and play most weekends. Would play more if not working. I also visit the range at least twice a week all year.

        About 150 rounds a year. The wife and I travel quite a bit, and it is nothing for me to have the coach pull over and get our clubs out. All it usually takes is a sign that reads "GOLF". GJS

            If I get in 25, it was a great year.

              Re: How often do we all play?

              Being the non custodial parent following my divorce some 8 years ago now, I only play on weekends where I have no agreed contact with my 2 kids.

              Some months I might only get one round in, others I might get in 5 or 6.

              According to my Golflink history, I have played 25 club competition rounds in the 2007 calendar year to date, carding 90 gross on average. (Par 72)

              My low round being an 82 back in May and a high round of 99 in April.

              During that time, my exact handicap has come in from 17.5 at the start of the year, to it's current 15.0, after having reached a low of 14.4 in mid July.

              Also was a member of my Club's VGL Pennant side this year which added another 6 matchplay rounds to my list. Have also had 2 or 3 social rounds on a Sunday with friends.

              All of this with no practice. The way I see it, each round I play is a practice round for the next time I get out.

              Bottom line for me is that I certainly don't get to play as often as I'd like, but, I think that is true of all golfers, the big Dog included...

              Cheers

                  Played 14 so far and will get in #15 tomorrow. 15 is the most I have ever got in in one season . With child #2 on the way (due in Jan) next season may be severely limited.

                  I would love nothing more than to play multiple times a week, I get out as often as I can, don't forget started 2k3 ^^^^ and I can only golf for 7 months a year.

                  I have playe 62 18 hole rounds since the summer of 2003.

                          What a shame, the greens had been punched and putting was a total ****shoot. Lovely course though. I really enjoyed it despite playing the craziest Jekyll and Hyde game I have ever played.

                          Off the tee it was either, right down the middle with a soft fade, or a horrific fat shot that would go 20 yards at best. Irons were either pured or shanked.

                          I had no idea what I would get when I stepped up to the ball.

                          I would par some holes. Double bogie the ones where I hit a gohod tee shot and then shanked the approach. Bogie or Double on the ones where I fatted it off the tee and then rescued myself and then 10s and 12s when I hit fat off the tee and then proceeded to shank my way all the way to the hole.

                          I decided to just enjoy the surroundings and not really count my score in the end.

                          What a shame. I think the clubs will go away for the year now, unless my mother in law needs an extra player one weekday.

                          We never did get out together did we 2K3. I haven't played a weekend game since we talked about hooking up. We should definitely get out next spring.

                            I am in for the spring. Should we set a date now then also set a "snow day".

                            I will try to get to manderley this week but after that I think it is done for the year.

                              I play about 4 times per week. That will add up to 100 rounds per year. (Our season is 6 months.)
