I'm sure this thread has been done before but just curious how much everyone plays a week.

I've been playing alot lately I play 4 times a week. Two rounds of 18 on the weekend and two rounds of 9 during the week and one day at the driving range.

I try to get out 2-3 a week whether that is an actual round or range work. I have a lot of line items on my budget these days and we're saving to start a family so I hit up a lot of twilight specials and there's a range that you have to bring and shag your own balls on that is only $3 and doesn't get much use. I have a course about 1/2 away that's only $8 to walk after 630pm. It's a dog track, but for that price it's good practice.

I'm trying to play at least once a week. I go hit balls at the range twice a week and chip in the yard every chance I get.

- 6 days per week at the Driving Range (usually spend about 3 hours...this is also combined with putting/chipping practice at the putting green.)
- 1/2 rounds per week...usually just one

If I had more money I'd play more rounds, but since I'm limited financially because I can't find a job (applied to about five or six golf courses in the area, no one is hiring) the driving range is an inexpensive way to improve my game.

I average about one round a week. Some weeks I may get out 2-3 times and then go 2-3 weeks without playing. All depends on the kids schedules and what the wife has planned for us. My goal is to play weekly.

Single and my kids are in their 20s and away at school so I go every chance I get, especially this time of year.

2 or 3 9's after work during the week and at least a round on the weekend. I normally work on the range or putting green for an hour before or after the weekday 9's.

Now that the wifey is getting busy with work and having to work weekends and late at night I'll probably get a little more in

Posted
2/3 times a week usually, hit the range, putting green, wedges, power grips and treadmill the days I don't play.

If I'm out on a weekday afternoon and the course is empty, I'll usually get a 'bonus round' in and play 36. Saturday and Sunday are where the money gets made (or lost).

Now that it's summer, I play once or twice a week. but during the school year it's more like once a month, if that.

I'm playing a little more than my normal right now because I'm teaching my friend's 14 year old son to play. I play 18 holes on Sunday (usually), plus 9 holes on Tuesday evening. Saturdays I either take my protege out to play (typically par 3 or executive courses) or I go to the range. Additionally, I play 1-2 extra rounds per month during the spring-summer-fall seasons. During the winter months I play every weekend that has temps above about 30 degrees with no snow on the ground. Last year I played something like 65 rounds counting weekday 9's. This year I expect that number to be a little higher.

Not enough! Once a month if I'm lucky. It's July and I've played 5 rounds this year (2 of those were in one day). Spending more time at the range these days, but it's all just chipping & putting. I'm 51 and not trying to compete or prove anything anymore so my swing is my swing.

I could have typed this verbatim. Although I don't usually go more than 10-14 days between rounds. When I miss a week, I am usually to get out the next week.

    • Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.
    • I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.  
    • Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity. 
    • In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.     
    • Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?
