54 hole day - What's your most in one day?

[tsdnorton]

So I had the opportunity to play a lot of golf today. I woke up and hit the range at 6:00 (the basic 60 balls I usually start every round with) then I went to the chipping range for about 30 minutes with my 52/60. Then to my putting.

Tee'd off with my typical group around 8:00 - 4:00 hours later finished up, ate some lunch and worked on the putting green to fix a little error I had in the round.

Another group of buddies came up around 12:30 asking me if I wanted to join their 3 some, I figured sure why not? It's later in the afternoon and the course isn't crowded, it'll be quick. Finished up around 4:15 and started walking up to my car to throw the clubs in and my dad called. Just back from vaca and wanted to swing the sticks. I told him I just finished 36, I don't know. He said, just 9 holes? We'll grab a cart, it'll be quick.

I couldn't say no to pops.

So we grabbed a cart and started at 4:40pm. (he lives close to the course, didn't even warm up) after a FAST 9 (1:10) I figured we could do the back 9 ( I was on a roll on the front with a 35 ) and finished it up, went home, had dinner then applied the icy hot and hit the spa for awhile.

All in all good day. 77 - 79 - 75.

Hope I'm not too sore in the morning when I tee off at 7:30

Walked 64 in a day last year for no other reason to see how many we could walk in one day. We couldn't start until 7:24, which kept us from playing 72. Like you, I played better each round.

I was on a golf trip with some friends and one of the days a few of us did 45. Some of the guys just wanted to play one round then goof off, but I figured that if I am staying away from home to play golf, I was going to play as much as I could.

[Leftygolfer]

I've walked 36 a bunch but never more than that. If I didn't have a wife and child I have a feeling I'd have days when I play all day.

[ohiolefty]

106. Would have played more, but there were a bunch of q-tips in front of us the whole time.

45 walking

[DavidFehertysBike]

Me and a friend of mine walked 45 holes in the snow and cold of december a few years ago. Might have been the manliest thing ive ever done. I believe i woke up with steel hair on my balls the next morning. As far as total holes ive played 54 in one day in Florida once. But all were riding..because florida hates walkers.

36 holes walking back to back rounds - no breaks in the clubhouse in between, straight from 18 back to 1.

That seems to be my limit for consecutive walked rounds. Beyond that second 18 and I really start to lose focus (walking 14+ miles will do that to you!).

That said, I have done 36 consecutive holes on 3 consecutive days when I had the time. I didn't play golf for a week afterwards.

[Ignorant]

I've done 3x18 holes in one day twice but there is this bizarre guy in my country who has his own idea of a golf marathon. This summer he played 14 rounds (= 262 holes) in 50 hours, no sleep in between.

Now, that's what I call a golfaholic!

I played 68 holes in one day about 20 years ago with my then 62 year old father, course came back by the clubhouse after 5 holes 9 13 and 18. It wasn't very long, and had only a couple of holes with modest hills. It was in the upper 90s and we walked it all. We did take a break off course for lunch and came back. I was in my second year of playing, maybe 10 for him. Fortunately I inherited his heat tolerance and stamina, unfortunately I also inherited his lack of frustration tolerance and tendancy to get negative on the course.

Jesus christ 60 balls on the range before a round? I just can't do that, I wear myself out and play like crap during the round. I like to hit between 20-30 just to swing a club. But after 60 without much time in between shots my arms would feel like jello.

[Mattplusness]

this thread is inspiring me to play more than 18 sunday. my most in a day is 20... never seem to have the time to do much more

[Easy]

Did you use a golf cart for all the rounds? That's still an epic amount of golf.

I've played 27 walking, I would love to play 54 holes of golf but I'm short on funds.

[Radford Wooly]

There's a Par 3 near my home and they have a all day rate of like $10 or $12. My brother, myself and a friend or two would go and play all day on Saturday. Probably would get in 3 or 4 rounds. Good Times!!

[c. lassiter]

60 holes walking while in grad school. We would have kept going, but it got too dark to see squat.

[sean_miller]

I played 45 one cloudy Saturday in about 1988. I worked at the course and got free golf. I must have played through about 20 groups that day. Such a huge nerd back then.

[AceDunk]

72 holes, from dawn till dusk. Walked and carried all 4 rounds. Would do again, but probably not carrying my clubs. A push cart would be better. I'd love to have a course to myself one time with a cart and try some kind of marathon, play like 15 rounds.

[IcemanYVR]

45, walking and carrying... have played some 36 hole tournaments back in the day, those were more tiring becuase of the mental stress... but these days, I'm pretty sure I couldn't do a scond 18 without a cart
