I have a week and a half left of partial morning rounds and then my golf year is shot to hell. Dreaming of the day I can finally become a member at my favorite club here.

Hmmm...Almost always play twice a week but 36 holes on Saturday. Some weeks (like last week with 6 rounds) I play more and there may have been a few weeks off and on in January and February when I didn't play at all.

Best guess around 100 rounds.

When I was a club member for 5 years I almost always played 10 to 15 rounds a week unless the weather was awful and it had to be pretty bad for me to not play since I had a cart cover and a heater in my cart.

Holy crap that's a lot of golf.

I lived on the course. The only thing that kept me off of the course was work. Fortunately we only worked 3 or 4 days a week and got off work at 1:00 o'clock. My truck always had the urge to turn into the course driveway after work (whether I wanted to play or not).

My wife even took up golf because she said that was the only way she was ever going to see either me or our son.

I need to show this to my wife. I clearly have to play more golf! :-D

At a little over 50 right now, but the pace will pick up a bit with a 2 day club championship and 3 day member guest coming up.

I only plan on working 2 more Fridays the rest of the year so Friday + Saturday rounds should be a given.

I'm at about 75 rounds. I don't know the exact number because there are a handful of rounds I played with my wife in 'mixed couples' tourneys that can't be submitted for my handicap. I should easily get 100 rounds in this year. I played every week from Sept 1 - Dec 20 last year.

I live in South Dakota and live on a Palmer course we have great access. We start playing around April 1 through mid Nov. I have 89 rounds so far... I get in my cart and go. So even though we can't play year round we can make up a lot if ground 3 hour rounds on non peak times is average. To my friends in FL AZ Our course was on the Nike tour so it's no dog track!

I have 27 posted rounds which includes at least eight 9 hole rounds that were combined into four 18s.  I post everything but did play 1 scramble that was not posted and, as of Labor Day, 1 match play round that the committee chooses not to post because of gimmes.

This is the 2nd season in row that I have played consistently- the first time I have done that in over 20 years and the dividends are starting to show in my game with good results in Men's league and, as of yesterday, advancing to the semi-finals in the Keystone Match Play tournament.

After reading some of the responses I'm kinda embarrassed to post my number here. To date this year I've played 235 rounds. As my son tells me " Dad, if you okay so much, why aren't you any better than a 7?" I tell him it's quantity not quality golf I play. I retired when I moved to Huston 4 years ago and play 7-10 per week. Haven't got tired of it yet. My mindset is " if I have a bad round round, no problem as ill be back here tomorrow in less than 24 hours"

Don't be embarrassed. Lots of us wish we were playing that much. :beer:

Really I not but not having to go to work is really great. My day is simple, get up and see my wife off to work then read the paper, do any honeys do's that need to be done. Go to the course at 10:30 and finish by 3:30. Head home to get diner started and have wine out for my honey when she gets home. Go to bed and get up and repeat daily! Doesn't get any better!

    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
