Well i think ive seen this before but can't find it. So how often do you get to play? I don't get to play that much considering i have school and everything else.

Its not always how you drive the ball, but how it arrives.

When I had a membership back in the UK I'd go and play four, five, maybe even six times a week during the summer and easter holidays.

My problem was I was at a boarding school with activities taking up six full days a week, and sometimes Sunday too. During term time I didn't often have time to go and play so it really was feast or famine!

Now I'm getting back into the game I'd like to play at least once a week, and go down the range once a week too...

Last year, (2007) I played 184 rounds.
Today, I played my 119th this year.
I refuse to play in the cold, 'cause I'm so old cold hurts.
When the weather is okay, I play every day. ( I don't do cold or wet)
My hope is to average playing every other day. I did it last year, and this year is on track. I need 74 more this year to hit 183. I guess I need 11 more weeks of good weather. I just hope I don't have to go out in December at 32 degrees to make it.

My first year of golf.... this summer I've managed to play 9 holes once a week, with the occassional 2nd time a week.

Not a lot of golf, though, when you only play 9 holes.

I live in Florida and I play everyday. Somedays I play 9 and sometime I play 27 to 36 holes. I am a nurse so I only work three days a week. I have not played in the last two days with Fay hitting us hard. I hope she is gone soon so I can back out. Going crazy in the house all day.

In the summer I got out 3-4 times a week. Now with school having started I'll prolly get out around twice a week.

Things I Am Good at in Golf

- Hitting it in the drink
- Finding the rough with my drive
- Staying in the bunker- Hitting grassburners all the way to the hole- Three putting- Posting over par on 18 in only 9 holes- Swinging and missing with an iron

This year has been a tough year for me, and I average playing twice a month, whereas I usually play 8-10 times a month. I lost two months of the season, June and July, due to sickness and an injury to my right arm. However, I have worked hard the last three weeks to get my game back. Now I am scoring normally----72 to 77, and am striking the ball fairly well. Almost every day, I do practice in the yard or at a practice area at a local municipal course, where I do not have to pay for that privilege. It really does pay to practice on a regular basis. Also, I work hard on my putting and short game.

I play once a week. Im probably going to start playing par-3 courses all the time though so that I can afford to play more often.
Theres a real nice par-3 course about 5 miles away from where I work and Im thinking I might start playing that course once a week. It would be nothing to throw my golf gear in the truck and just go straight from work to the course.
I practice at least 30 minutes a day though.

I went on an official GHIN handicap card, and posted my first score on May 2cd. Last weekend, 15 weeks later, I had my 20th round in. I also played like 3 practice rounds in there so thats right at 27 holes a week.

Due to my work commitment, I'm only able to play once in a month. Twice if I got lucky. I wish I could play more often. :(

    • Day 12: Same as last couple days, but focus was on recentering aspect of flow. When I recenter earlier I make decent contact most swings but if I recenter late or not at all it’s a roll of the dice. 
    • A couple of things.  Some of the clubs in your bag should be dropped immediately.  A 2-iron for example with what obviously seems to be a lower swing speed or possibly not great swing yet is a definite no-no.  To be hitting that 120-140 yards, which I assume includes run, is a sign that you are not getting the ball airborne at the correct angle to maximise distance.  The reason your 3 and 5 hybrid are going the same distance is that your launch angle is better with the 5.  Loft is your friend. Ideally I would suggest going to a golf or sporting store where you can hit golf balls on a simulator without being disturbed to understand your club carry distances and hopefully swing speed.  With that information we can definitely guide you better.
    • Let us be clear, unless you have proof of cheating, you just sound like a case of sour grapes.  In our club we have a guy who won club titles for many years.  Yes, he was a low single digit handicapper, but there have been quite a few others who played at his level.  Yet his mental strength and experience helped him win in many years when he shouldn't have.  Did he sandbag.  DEFINITELY NOT.  Did he just minimize his mistakes and pull out shots as and when needed.  Definitely.
    • Day 111 - Worked on my grip and higher hands in the backswing. Full swings with the PRGR. 
    • First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.
