How often?
 
Gummi Bear's post about not playing since July made me wonder, how often does everyone play?

I play both days on most weekends and I try to play at least one evening a week. I practice a couple of times a week during the lunch hour if I can manage it. (You'd think I would be better with all this effort)

How about everyone else?

C-Tech - I expected your thread to ask how often you whine about your game and the correct response is in every post you make.

Most of the summer - I played 2-3 times a week, but I've only played twice since the end of August. I do have plans to play the next three weekends though.

I haven't played a round of golf since last October (recessions and lack of business will do that).

But under normal circumstances, I play about 2 times per week and hit the driving range at least as much.

I find that patently offensive. I don't whine. I am insulted. You've made me cry. Are you satisfied now.

I play twice a week. Usually Mondays and Thursdays, however recently with magazine launch and moving to a new house in 30 days has shrunken that down to once a week. When people visit THP land, I will play everyday.

I usually do not play on weekends. Play is too slow and it is family time with the wife.

Audi_z 09-18-2009 07:28 PM

At least on the average of 2+ times a week, in addition to 4-6 hours of practice most weeks. There are also stretches where I don't play due to other priorities, and hobbies. I have a road trip coming up where I will golf 5 different courses in 5 days with some friends. For a while after that I will be too tired, and sore to golf. http://www.thehackersparadise.com/fo...es/biggrin.png

I play around 13.5 holes a week. 13.5 holes you ask? Well one Saturday I usually play 9 holes and the next Saturday I will play 18. I do get in the occasional round during the week but it is relatively rare. I try to make it to the range at least once a week but that doesn’t always happen.

My October however is shaping up to be sweet…

• Friday Oct 2: Member/Guest tournament at my club
• Saturday Oct 3: Charity scramble
• Saturday Oct 10: 18 holes
• Saturday Oct 17 thru Tuesday Oct 20: 108 holes on my golf trip http://www.thehackersparadise.com/fo...ies/banana.gifhttp://www.thehackersparadise.com/fo...ies/alien2.gifhttp://www.thehackersparadise.com/fo...ies/banana.gifhttp://www.thehackersparadise.com/fo...ies/alien2.gif
• Rest of October: who knows

I usually play 2 or 3 times during the week after work when it stays daylight long enough and usually play on Sunday afternoons.

EmpaccalGah 09-18-2009 08:33 PM

This will be the least amount I've played since 2005. I've played 17 rounds and I too haven't played since the end of July. The previous yrs. I played 30-40 rounds in those. No membership or job at a course anymore hurts BIG TIME!

agolutuaddiff 09-18-2009 08:54 PM

Ive been kind of busy these last few weeks so my golf schedule is off, but I play one day during the weekend for sure and usually one day during the week.

standaman 09-18-2009 08:55 PM

Most every Saturday and Sunday. Hit the range a couple times a week with the Wife and Daughter. They usually hit balls while I give them pointers and screw up their swings. I hit quite a few balls before we play on the weekends, but not usually during the week.

This spring and summer have been really busy both on a personal level and business/work so I have not played as much this year only about 12 -15 rounds normally by this time I would have 40 to 50 in. Good thing is that I can play year round so I'm looking forward to getting back out this fall and winter for more golf.

chppjdf 09-18-2009 09:01 PM

18 holes on Saturday Morning from mid April thru Sept. I joined a thursday night league but only made it out 10 times (9 holes). too busy......

Dodoerabe 09-18-2009 10:35 PM

Not as much as I would like. Since the last Sunday in June I have touched the clubs once to play one 18 hole round. It really sucks. Usually, I have a couple of work events that get me out during the week every month or so, but we haven't had any this year. Then the weekends when I have the possibility of playing the weather has been bad.

VtLe67WR 09-18-2009 10:43 PM

at least once a week with numerous range sessions mixed in. fall golf season is shaping up to be real nice here in the NE so far so hopefully I can fit in a few more rounds

PlanTaleks 09-18-2009 10:47 PM

I have played 55 rounds in the past 12 months.

u8MmZFmF 09-18-2009 11:09 PM

I typically play 1-2 times per week but have been known to go to the extreme on both ends of the scale. There are times when my schedule allows that I might play 5 days in a row and then there are times when I just don't want to play and that may last 3 months or so. I do typically manage to play about 1 a week during the winter here in the PNW depending on the weather, just plan on getting wet and being cold...

I am envious of many of you!

JP, sorry to hear it. I couldn't imagine not being able to play for that long. Hopefully things will get better soon.

Other than an annual weeklong golf trip, I don't have opportunities to play during the week. During the spring through fall period, I typically play 3-4 times per month. I try to get out there once a weekend, but sometimes it just doesn't work out. During the winter, depends on weather (I'm a fair weather weenie). This usually means 30-40 rounds per year for me.

This year will be a big year for me. Things worked out where I played 8 rounds in July (basically every weekend day). I expect to get in around 50. I usually start off the spring anxious to hit the range and practice green (a couple times per week), but by the time summer comes around, I stop going to the range.

erubresen 09-19-2009 12:28 AM

Last year I played over 100 rds, the most days in a row I have ever played was 8.

This year I don't even know how many rds, haven't added up the score cards yet. I would say it's down since I am only playing once, maybe twice a week right now.

RG3rGWcA 09-19-2009 06:39 AM

I play 4 to 5 day's a week for a while, then work will shut me down to twice a week every so often. Right now I'm in the twice a week, but after next weeks trip to Vegas I'll be back at it.
