Golfing too much?

[piper_clap]

Well, during the week (right now) I get somewhere between 9 and 18 holes in after work. Today, we got 18 in (starting at 6 PM) for the first time, and looking at the sunset calendar, we have about another 40 days of being able to do that this year. My day off during the week is Tuesday, when I play softball.

Weekends-if we golf, a buddy and I usually play 18 in the morning, eat lunch and watch a little TV in the bar, and then go out for another 18. Once summer cranks up and we are more fully into golf "shape", we'll do that both days on a weekend.

Once school is over, I'll probably play 9 early, go fishing or something, and meet up with my regular evening group for 18 more.

Being a bachelor teacher just barely allows me to afford a membership and gives me plenty of free time, so it works out well. My game is for crap for how much I play, but I took about 15 years off from the game and really just got serious about it last summer.

My buddies and I used to go out once a year and play dawn to dusk. I remember one year I had one of those glow in the dark golf balls and was using it because we were trying to finish the back 9 and it was getting pretty close to pitch dark.

Can't remember the most holes we've played. Our goal was to get in 72 holes but I don't think we quite managed that. Probably in the area of 60. Needless to say the scores were nothing to talk about.

The last time we tried this we only got in a couple of rounds because the course was so busy. We used to count on this particular isolated course to be pretty empty.

Funny thing is this was before I really started playing golf. I'd only play 2 or 3 times per year. I don't think my body is quite up to 50+ holes of golf in a single day anymore.

Walked 18 at Bethpage then 18 at a local muni. That was physically draining. Next time I do 36, I would most likely ride or borrow a push cart at least.

I think so, since sometimes I won't go to a range or anythin for almost a week, and go out to the course and feel refreshed. I shoot the best that way I think.

I'm jealous of you guys. I had some great golf summers the past few years but now I graduated college and I need to find some sort of job! I figure playing 36 holes of golf a day isn't really a good plan for my future, as much as I'd like to...

Too much golf can cause fatigue!

I have played for the last 23 days solid and im fried! Going to be taking 3 days off to recover!

Not if you're a member! Most people are hesitant to shell out 2000$ to 4000$ all at once, but it pays for itself in the long run.

Yea I have a membership at my home course. It cost about $1000 and it's paid for itself two times over in 4 months.

Ha. I heard that one. My parents just started to make me pay for my own golf stuff because I had a summer job last summer, and I didn't realize how much it sucks to play golf (wallet-wise).

I got the easy way out..

work at a golf course. free golf :D

Yea, Im trying to convince my wife that the 670 membership at the local course is a good idea, especially since that is for the both of us.

Oh don't think I didn't apply to the course I live on. I did, but I don't think that they are going to hire me because they just hired about 5 new people at the course, all after I put in my application. Well, all I can do is try.

Played 34 this past weekend with range time before and then again for a short while after the 1st 18. I was at the course from about noon until 8pm. Gotta love those weekend days where the wife works afternoon/evening!

To the OP:

That's like a Tiger Woods' day right there. Except throw in a couple of hours of working out/exercising.

It's to much when your wallet gets to thin to support yourself.

Ha yessir pyranha. And to Bogeyhitter25, I'm not as beast as Tiger Woods ;)
