I don't get many chances to play 36 in a day. But I love to do it when I can. The last time I did it was on a golf trip to Vegas last May. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

About 20 years ago when I was a youngster of 47 I would travel to the Dallas area for business once/month.  I would fly to Dallas on Saturday and be on the local public course at 7AM Saturday after a light breakfast.  I would finish 18 by 10:15, put my name on the list and have time for heartier breakfast and be on my second 18 by 11AM.  I would finish the second 18 by 2:30, put my name on the list, and grab a sandwich.  I would usually be playing my third 18 by about 3:15 and with more people on the course would finish by 7:30 and head to the local sports bar after 54 holes.  Now, I could do this when there was enough light by riding a cart, and playing Sunday morning and early afternoon when most locals were busy with their church duties.  Today it would be out of the question.

Lol I am super lucky to play 36 in a week, and my standard is 36 in a month! I have never played more than 18 holes in day, though I would love the chance to play 36. I need a golf trip....

If you’re looking for a 3-4 day golf trip, there’s some good golf here in the Carolinas. There’s like 20 courses in the Pinehurst area, and there’s Myrtle Beach. I’ve been to Myrtle, never been to Pinehurst.

There is nothing better then 36 in a day on 2 different courses.  I do it whenever my buddy and I go away because the wives don't get in the way, then a nice dinner follows.  We did it locally this year for the first time walking on a flat facility.  Next year we might try all 45 holes there.

I did this routinely back in the day if I had the chance. More recently, after a round one of my buds would suggest another 9 getting the "replay" rate. My stock response was, "Why not? We're already here!" 

That is no longer my stock response! I am now 67 years old, and golf has begun to hurt! After a round my knees, shoulders, and lower back just scream at me! And the realization came upon most of us gradually. There came a point where we'd go out for that third nine, and we couldn't play worth a crap! We were all just chopping and hacking it around! 

Eventually, we decided to just drop it! God bless the people who can do this, but we are no longer able.

One of the local tracks has two courses that are both under 6400 yards from the tips. I have played both of them on many occasions. I think I had 4 straight weekends where I played 18 on Saturday and 36 on Sunday.

Last time I did 36 in a day was the 2017 Newport Cup.  We rode so doing 90 holes in 2.5 days was not an issue physically.  I walk 27 a couple times a year but that is the exception.  Most days 18 is enough.

Haven't played 36 in a day since I was in college, where the local muni had a $10 student greens fee with unlimited play.

Wish I could play 36 in a day now, but with a job, fixer-upper house, and kids all demanding my time, it's hard to even fathom.

Put in your request now for a 36 hole day of golf on December 4th.  With lunch in between rounds, a toast with friends over glasses of scotch and birthday cake served on the 18th green upon completing your 2nd round.

Sounds wonderful, but December 4th is a Wednesday...this might work in 2021 when my birthday is on a Saturday.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.
