I used to be a range rat but our club has a limited range.  anything over 165 yards is not permitted.  But I use the course for most of my practice time I will routinely play 3 or 4 balls and and hit several other shots per hole on top of that.  I like that type of real world practice.

usually 3-4 times a week if i can...usually over an hour b/c i take my routine before each ball, except with chips, short wedges.

I was expecting 3-5 times a month to be most popular.  I'm only able to get there once a week.

I either hit a bucket and then putt or hit the chipping greens and putt but rarely is it all 3.  I'm usually there for 1.5 hours or up to 2.

I go every day, for about 2 hours. Putting green, short game area, range. Play about twice a month. I would play more, and practice less, but I live in Japan, and the golf courses are a grip. A hundred bucks for one round? Ouch.

Honestly I may go 1 time in the whole entire season.  There are a couple of reasons, first there is not a decent range around me to go to.  None of the courses I play often have a driving range either.  Second I would rather play than practice, I feel like I learn how to play and hit better the more I play on the course.  No two shots are alike during a round where as the driving range you are in the same spot over and over again.  Third I play like crap when I do hit the range before a round, I played Muirfield Village CC last year with my dad and his friend (member) we went to the range (which was really nice).  But I played terrible (90) and I regretted ruining an awesome course with my terrible play.

I will stick to my 10 on the putting green and my two warm-up swings on the 1st tee box

I try and practice something golf-related every day, but probably only "go to the range" -- in the sense of hitting a couple of buckets of balls -- maybe twice a week.

Twice a week and i try and shoot for two hours of practice but its a give and take i just have to remind myself that im not there just to hit balls. I like to try and work on something specific. Sometimes i get dragged into a pissing contest to see who can drive it the farthest and i learned that when that happens i tend to pick up bad habits and screw up my swing.

I answered 6-8 times per month, but I don't do a lot of full shot practice.

My home course has a really good little pitching green with practice bunkers, a bit of varying rough and 3 pins on different tiers.

Lately I've just been going there before work (which is around the corner )

I might only practice full shots 1-2 times per month at most.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
