Considerably less for me. With a new addition to our family, we've got our hands full with 2 kids now. (I don't know how people do it with 3,4,5 etc kids). I think last year I played 34 rounds. I doubt I'll even come close to cracking 20 this year.

I played 29 in 09, and so far, Ive played 51 in 2010. I got a raise and am single, so why not :)

Played probably about 20 times last year, at 5 for this year. Money is definitely a factor in that. However, I have been at the range A LOT more this year. While it isn't as fun as being on the course, seeing improvement in my game is and lately things seem like they are clicking.

I've already played twice as much as last year, but it was a pretty low hurdle since I only played about 3 times as I was just picking up the game again. This year my 7 year old son is begging to go, so we've gotten out more, plus I have and extra week vacation this year which I am using to play some.

Playing much more.. I am making almost triple now as I was last year, and have had much more time to play not working 12-9 shifts.

Less. Last year I played 3 times a week, this year I backed it down to once a week. I found that towards the end of summer I started to get a little bit burnt out on golf, to the point where I almost wasnt enjoying it anymore. This year I scaled it back a bit, spent more time practicing, less time playing and more time doing other things that I enjoy and Ive reignited my love of golf.

I would say I'm on pace to go about threefold over the amount I played last year if I would guess. Sitting at 585 holes recorded for my HC to this point plus a few scrambles.

A big part has been a 20 week work league and knowing a kid at the course we play most often who let's us go out for free any night he's there.

Playing a lot less this year due to three shoulder operations late last year, slowly recovering and not striking the ball the best just yet. Will make up for it towards the end of the year I hope.

I though once I got the kids out of the house I would have more time and money for golf but that has not been true. Funny, but I only keep a handicap to prove to my wife how many rounds I play a year, and it is usually in the 20 - 25 range. This year was no different, so I play about the same.

Yeah, wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?

I don't have any exact numbers to back it up, but I am playing WAY more this year. My wife has decided to take up the game again, so I play every other weekend with her, and at least once a week by myself. I just got a membership to my home course, so I expect that to go up even a little more.

2009 guesstimate - maybe 10 rounds for the year
2010 guesstimate - I have posted 8 rounds on OOB for my "hc", but I know I have at least another 15 rounds that were played before I discovered that site.

    • I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.
    • Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.
    • Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
    • Oh yea, now I remember reading about you on TMZ!
