I think I'm addicted...

18 holes never quite seemed like enough for me (especially as I tend to play better as the day progresses). A few summers ago, I would play 36 holes pretty regularly, but this summer,  I found myself completing 36 holes by 12pm. Assuming I have nothing else planned for the day, I started playing 54 after lunch. I also think I play better after lunch since it is a bigger meal, breakfast doesn't quite hold me over. This past weekend Golf was ALL I had planned and I ended up playing 3.5 rounds on Saturday and almost made it through a full 4th round on Sunday before a Thunderstorm forced them to blow the horn

Am I alone here in my compulsion to basically play until I can't play anymore?

How many holes do you typically play in a day?

I can push it to 36 holes if riding a cart but won't be playing the next day. When I was young 36 walking (at the right course) was easily doable.

I could play 36 during the week when I was in school but the courses are too packed on the weekends for me to do it now. I can get in 27 after work on a Tuesday if the place isn't too busy though.

What time do you start, and what pace are you playing? 36 is max for me ...

I don't think I've ever played more than 18 holes on a regulation course. Only on par-3s will I go on and that's only if the course is next to empty.

Maybe using the motor cart would make a difference, but I'd think just keeping the concentration levels up that long would be hard.

I think you may be the most addicted to playing golf although I suspect there are a few others in this forum.

I can play up to 36 holes in one day.   After that, mentally and physically, I can't play.

I have played 36 in one day a number of times. Sometimes 18 on two different courses. There use to be a tournament where you played as many holes as you could in 10 hours. Low score, and well as most number of holes played in the 10 hour time frame were the two first places given out. 90 +/- holes was usually the winner. Best I could do was 82/385 in the 10 hour time frame. In that tournament, no one waited for anyone.

Something I do quite often is I will play 18 each day for 4 days in a row, walking with my trolley, on the same course. I hardly ever play on friday-sundays.

I find it tough to do multiple 36's during the heat of the Summer here in Houston although I do it at least once a week. So my question to to you is how many rounds a year do you play?

Boy do you sound familiar! Now I go until my knee(s) tell me to stop. Always had a lot of energy. I often play 36 at two different courses I was a member of, or just run through through the same course if it's all you can play. I've played, everyday this week with two 27's thrown in. My pro friend, coach, course director stopped me from playing further Wednesday to rest, I was limping a little, so I could rest for league as we're playing well with playoffs coming. Not long out of surgeries but I am compulsed to play. Surgeon says I'm doing great but honestly, I plan my day what I'm going to practice and/or play. Healthy thinking??? I wonder sometimes. On top of that, I umpire in the evening. And I'm not a spring chicken. :-\
