Due to a lot of commitments in my life right now I play a round of golf probably every 3-4 weeks. However, I nearly always practice early every Sunday mornings for 2 hours at the range, to keep my swing and short game in check. I do hope to play more rounds this year though.

How about you guys?

I go to the range every day on my lunch break. I hit balls or practice putting and chipping. I try to get out at least once on the weekend to either play or practice. I probably play a full round 2-3 times a month.

I really would like to play 8-10 times a month, but as it stands right now I would need much more disposable income and much more time. I only play MAYBE twice a month but I am able to go to the range a few times a week.Would any like to donate any of there free time and/or money to my golf cause?

September-April I play about 1-2 times a week and hit balls 3-4 times. May-August I play 3-4 times a week and hit balls every day. During the summer I am at the course at least 6 times a week. I am a golf nut, my family has to deal with that. I do try to practice and play in the early morning so I can be home by 11 or 12 and spend the rest of the day with them.

I play every weekend. Some weekends I play for the CLub in Pennant mtaches so manage to get 2 rounds in that week :)

Living in Auckland we get a very mid winter (never below about 5* - and normally around 8-12) and never any snow. Where I play (click link in sig) is sand based so never floods - am very lucky in that respect. We have great practise facilities, so some Saturday mornings I'll spend 4 hours or so practising. During the summer I'll get out there one evening a week and practise as well. During the winter I'll go to the range once a week.

Play 4-6 times a month on average but during summer when it is hot, cheaper, and the day light is longer in Vegas I can play 9 and sometimes 18 after work so I average 6-10 times a month then.

I try to practice at least 1-2 times a week. Hard to force myself to practice and not play when I have the time. But I know then only way to get better is to practice and not play all the time.

I play 18 holes 5-7 times a week and a little practice 2-3 times a week. some days I will play more.

Hi everyone!

I'm now 36 and a mom of 3 and returning to the game after an absence. Previously, I was training to turn pro. I've played since age 3 and on teams thru school, and then quit college to train fulltime with former PGA player David Lee (Gravity Golf).

During that time, I had to hit 1,000 balls every morning and then hit the course for 1-2 rounds a day, followed by a workout at the gym. Whew! Best shape of my life during that time.

When I was about 3 months from the minitour, I found out I was pregnant with my son, so I went BACK to college for my journalism degree instead of following golf, and I miss it.

So far, I have been out to the driving range a few times, amazed at how tiring it is. Need to get back in shape. I have a toddler so I haven't been back out to the course, but I'm itching to. I use men's clubs and play from the championship tee with the boys :)

I joined this forum to socialize with golfers again - they're always great and unlike any other people on earth.
Tiff :)

I hit balls a maximum of two times per week. I usually only go one day (Wednesday or Thursday) and hit something between a medium and large.

I play at least an executive course every week. I try to play 18 every Friday with a group of friends from school.

Winter in Minnesota: Chip and putt in my net and basement daily. Spring-Fall: Daily practice, 3-4 9 hole rounds and 2 18 hole rounds per week...

Hey there guys...

Well, due to the fact that I live in Wisconsin, and it is nothing but snow for 4 months here, I only get to play8 of them. But that is quite alright you see, because I work at the local golf course and I get to play for free whenever I want. Its so awsome. Now that I have gotten more serious about golf and I can practice whenever I want. I have worked out there for 2 summers, and this will be my 3rd and I am very excited.

Getting back on topic...During the Spring Summer and Fall I usually play about 5 times a week. Sometimes 6. And that is just 18 hole rounds. I try to play atleast 9 holes a day or atleast go to the range everyday that it is nice out. I basically live at the golf course ha ha.

    • A bit of an update Set up - Less knee bed, more hip flex, weight feels more on the balls of my feet, and heels feel off the ground or lightly touching the ground. I have to check this from time to time. I like to squat too much and get my weight back. If I look at where my right pocket meets my shirt, that is over my ankles. It feels like I am on my toes.  Backswing - Feel like my left kneecap stays facing towards the ball, doesn't move. This controls my knees in the backswing. Which controls my hips. Lots of resistance feeling in the left leg, lots of stability here. The hands feel like they go in a bit, keeping them closer to my right hip, then hinge straight up. In reality the hands go straight towards the camera than in. I am trying to keep the hands from going out and rolling the club inside from A2 to A4. Mostly hinge from wrist and still feel like I keep my right elbow straighter. So, its hinge wrist, then left upper arm off chest. Elbow feels like it doesn't do much. The hinge and the club finish nearly the same time as my right arm retracts. So, it's not continuing on a ton here. I don't think I could overexaggerate enough how fast and the quantity of hinge I can do here.  Downswing - This is the drill I set up. I wanted to create a spatial target for my swing path. So, I added a 2nd foam ball. This one off my right foot, about 1-ft away from the shoe. I chose this position because if I stop the swing at the top then bring my right hands down to my pocket and turn from there, that ball would be in its path. I am trying to swing the club down and behind me to make that 2nd ball in the swing path to the actual ball. It won't, but it is a good visual. It really has helped me. I did it slow a few times, then I did one swing at like 70% and it looked pretty good.  Checkpoints A1 to A2 - Club travels inward a bit and hands travel inward and straight back. Club is outside the hands at A2.  A2 to A4 - Club hinges here and still stay on plane pretty well. At A3, the club is pointing inside the ball. Previously it was like 10+ FT outside the ball. Right elbow and right hands are in front of the chest more. A small nitpick here is, maybe the hip turn is a tad over what I want. Very very small nitpick here. Probably could have hinged a bit sooner and gotten the club up a bit quicker to finish the backswing. This was a slower swing, so timing is a bit off.  A4 to A6 - the club keeps tracking down such that the club pass just under my hands. The path misses the 2nd ball by a lot. I am trying to get the club down to hit it.  When the knees are square to the target line in the downswing. My hands are down at waist height and the clubhead is at shoulder height. while in recent swings with no shallowing, my hands are like up near my chest, the club head is like above my head. People talk about being stuck behind them, I was stuck in steepness.  At impact, I could be more open with the hips if I used my left leg better, more work to do on that.  My right elbow and hands are on my trail side. I don't have to stop turning to get my hands and clubs through to hit the ball.  Overall, pretty good. I just need to rep this and continue to work on getting that left leg straighter.  Warning Label - The LED lights have a strobe effect due to the slow-motion camera.

    • Awesome. We were originally going to play Quail Ridge but ended up moving some things around and are going to do the following when we go in May Day 1 Tobacco Road Day 2 Southern Pines and Pine Needles Day 3 Tot Hill Farm There are a couple good course vlog/matches on YouTube at Southern Pines, it looks awesome.
    • I got two trips lined up this year.  First, Pinehurst next month. Qual Ridge, Mid Pins, Southern Pines 😁, Mid South, Talamore. I am looking forward to playing Southern Pines since it got redone.  Second, a trip to eastern Wisconsin in early August. Whistling Straights, Blackwolf Run, Erin Hills. 
    • You are probably doing the right thing in having more fairway woods or hybrids in your bag than irons. Just easier to maximize ball speed for you swing speed to get the proper gaps.  A driver is teed up, so you have more leeway there. The 7-wood is probably more optimized for carry for you. A slower swing speed needs higher launch and spin to keep the ball in the air. With the 3-wood, it probably launches too low with not enough spin to keep it in the air.  If you are not going to go get lessons, or do some sort of swing speed training, go get fitted for clubs. Clearly your mix-match of equipment is not optimized.
