I hit my local course solo this evening at about 7:30. I was planning on hitting a bucket or 2 but the course was wide open so I went out to play a few holes. i ended up playing 3 balls on each hole since no one was in front or behind me. I played 9 holes in less than an hour. Didn't lose a ball and hit some VERY good shots. In fact I almost holed out a par 3...hit the stick and bounced about 6 inches away. I would love to hit my first hole in one but a witness would be nice.

Anyway.....hitting 3 balls with no one on the course makes for good practice round. If only even round was this fast and enjoyable!!!

Where do you usually play? It seems there are usually people out when I go hit buckets even at that time of day.

Nice, that really helps, I do that too and it is so helpful

That is a great way to practice.

Went out Sunday afternoon and ended up as a single playing on a busy day. Got behind a foursome and had nowhere to go, so played 2 balls and kicked my own ass.

Playing alone early in the day or later in the afternoon is such a great way to practice. No crazy divot patterns, no range rats or wanna be pros. Just you, 14 clubs and your thoughts. A few balls of each tee and you will have accomplished more than you would have on the range.

Congrats on the nice round. I'm heading out soon to work on a round and hope to do similar, maybe toss a extra shot here and there from 40 to 60 yards which has been killing my game lately.

Well done. Both golf courses I play at are usually dead on weekdays as well. I should get out to play multiple balls more often.

wish i could do this around here more... courses are usually more crowded but i usually don't play twilight hours. id much rather practice this way than on the range.

you need to focus more on weight training and less on practice swings

Congrats on the good round! Playing alone is very productive sometimes. Glad to see you did so well

[Angeheade]

That is my favorite way to practice. I get much more out of that than a regular round or range session.

[Indoendris]

I do that quite alot, my home course is pretty slow during the early part of the week, I like to go out just after work and play 9 hitting 2 or 3 balls on every hole, I get more out of that than most range sessions.

I agree....im planning on doing this more often. Much more productive and fun than the range.

gotta love the late sunsets during the summer months!

I live 5 minutes from the course, so I will just head over a lot of times alone and if someone I know is heading out I will join them, if not I play alone. My biggest fear in golf is that I will get my 1st HIO while playing alone, I know it would still be a thrill, but you really need the witness.
