I have been relatively fortunate in regards to planned or forced layoffs from golf in 2024. Some winters I have gone 100+ days without touching a club. A few injuries over the decades have sidelined me a month or so. In 2024, it looks like my current travel will see me golfless for around 15-20 days.

Tennis elbow kept me on the sidelines from 6/1 until the middle of August. Hurricane Helene kept me off the course for another 30 days.

I had a little over 3 weeks without hitting balls because of a trip to Europe. Can't complain too much about that!

I played with the group on June 2 in Ohio, my next round of golf was 80 days later, 9 holes on August 21.  I did hit a few balls on 8/17, that would mean a gap of 76 days.  My back isn't great now, but I can play and enjoy it.

I've been getting in at least nine holes most weekends with about 4 18-hole rounds sprinkled in. 

There were a couple of exceptions where either the weather was bad on my one day available or the round just fell through because of my playing partners' issues. So the longest period of time has probably been two weeks.

I have missed a week here or there for family or work trips. I feel for anyone sidelined by injury/illness. 

Hope all y'all Hurricane Helene affected folks get back into swing of things soon.

2024 has not provided many "layoff" opportunities (usually trips and such with family get in there - and that's not a bad thing).  I typically do a little something each day (currently I'm at about day 180 on the 5 Minute practice page).  The days off there from hitting a ball are mirror work days - where time or conditions did not provide a window to hit a ball.  I've been blessed to remain pretty well injury free - however my left foot (the rebuilt one from the wreck in '16 will flare up with bruising that keeps me from making full swings at times).

I haven't played in almost 2 months.  I have been working on a kitchen remodel and just wanted to focus on that, so I haven't even chipped a ball in the back yard until last night, when I hit 2 chip shots. The end of the remodel is in sight with countertops scheduled to be installed in 2 weeks.

Played all summer with a hernia, had to ride and suffer. Had surgery on 9/30 after my best round of the season 4 days prior, go figure. Now 4.5 weeks out and I’ll play tomorrow, walking for the first time since May, finally! 
 

Before this one month layoff I had played at least once every month for the last 18 here in the wintery Berkshires.

@BobC, how did the round go?
