Around 3 to 4 rounds per week in summer about once a week in winter.
i chip alot in my backyard as well when im bored.

They say golf is like life, but don't believe them. Golf is more complicated than that.

Not as much as I'd like these days since I don't work at a course anymore. I've played 11 rounds this year, #12 coming Friday.

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

Once a week--9 holes in a league. My handicap is 4.2. I practice every day, working on rhythm and the short game, though.

-2-3 Times a week I play different courses in the area
-Then Range the days I don't play for 3-4 hours.
-Then at home I chip balls into the pool and try and hit different targets (pool toys)
-Practice on my putting green for 2 hours a night after dinner
-See my swing coach 3 nights a week

First summer taking golf seriously and my game has improved greatly. Went from about a 17 handicap to a 6.2 in 2 months :) But than again I am doing golf stuff 8 hours a day or more :P

Probably average 27 holes a week, plus at least one trip to the driving range. About 1 hour putting/chipping, 1 hour irons, 1 hour woods per week.

I play twilight, walk because its cheaper, and play wherever I can get the best price.

Try to get out twice a week for 18-holes. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. I would say I average 8 times a month. I also try to get out a couple times a month for putting practice (1/2 hour to 45 minutes).

Single dad, 3 yr old boy - tough to get out much, but I try to go once a week and play 18. Some weeks I get to play twice, sometimes I go a couple weeks without playing. Beats not playing at all!

Once in a while we make it to the driving range/putting green, but it's tough to focus with his limited attention span. He loves golf already, so hopefully he'll get to the point he can start practicing side by side with me soon!

Just started playing this year. Got hooked. I try to play a course at least once a week. Try to hit the range 2-3 times a week.

Usually try to get out there 2-3 times a week, usually for the twilight rate. Hit the range 1-2 times a month. Putt in my living room every day

If only I were a pro,,, I guess the grass is always greener when viewed from the other side.

well being that I'm just getting back into golf, was out for a while with shoulder problems, I'm hoping to start playing at least once a week if not more. My fiancé just purchased me a set of Mizuno MX-200's and a MX-560 driver. I'm going today to look for a putter and possibly a wood or two. Ready to break the new clubs in. The golf bug has been biting me a lot lately.

I work close to a golf course :)
I take my lunch hour at the course 3-4 times a week practicing short game most of the time.

I then play 9 after work 3-4 times a week.

I play 18 usually once on the weekend (but unless it's super early it's almost unbearably SLOW)

    • 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?
