Considerably less for me. With a new addition to our family, we've got our hands full with 2 kids now. (I don't know how people do it with 3,4,5 etc kids). I think last year I played 34 rounds. I doubt I'll even come close to cracking 20 this year.

Playing much more this year. I sprained my ankle about this time last year and had to put up the clubs. I have been making up for it this year for sure.

Played probably about 20 times last year, at 5 for this year. Money is definitely a factor in that. However, I have been at the range A LOT more this year. While it isn't as fun as being on the course, seeing improvement in my game is and lately things seem like they are clicking.

I've already played twice as much as last year, but it was a pretty low hurdle since I only played about 3 times as I was just picking up the game again. This year my 7 year old son is begging to go, so we've gotten out more, plus I have and extra week vacation this year which I am using to play some.

Less. Last year I played 3 times a week, this year I backed it down to once a week. I found that towards the end of summer I started to get a little bit burnt out on golf, to the point where I almost wasnt enjoying it anymore. This year I scaled it back a bit, spent more time practicing, less time playing and more time doing other things that I enjoy and Ive reignited my love of golf.

I would say I'm on pace to go about threefold over the amount I played last year if I would guess. Sitting at 585 holes recorded for my HC to this point plus a few scrambles.

A big part has been a 20 week work league and knowing a kid at the course we play most often who let's us go out for free any night he's there.

I only played 3 rounds last year. I have 10 so far this year and I didn't even start playing until mid-July.

Playing a lot less this year due to three shoulder operations late last year, slowly recovering and not striking the ball the best just yet. Will make up for it towards the end of the year I hope.

I though once I got the kids out of the house I would have more time and money for golf but that has not been true. Funny, but I only keep a handicap to prove to my wife how many rounds I play a year, and it is usually in the 20 - 25 range. This year was no different, so I play about the same.

Yeah, wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?

I don't have any exact numbers to back it up, but I am playing WAY more this year. My wife has decided to take up the game again, so I play every other weekend with her, and at least once a week by myself. I just got a membership to my home course, so I expect that to go up even a little more.

2009 guesstimate - maybe 10 rounds for the year
2010 guesstimate - I have posted 8 rounds on OOB for my "hc", but I know I have at least another 15 rounds that were played before I discovered that site.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      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?

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.
