Short game got better, long game got worse.  Scoring overall got better.  Playing more and hitting fewer balls.

I was thinking that might be the case. I'd like to practice more but knowing its there will be the challenge.

I ended up playing too much for the amount of time I was spending doing drills at the range.  I had fun though!

For me it was a package deal.  The course-side residence came with free golf.  The more rounds I played the less I went to the range.

It really doesn't. I was bored and wanted to see what people had to say. I'm building on one and will of course more. Just wondering if people played more/less practice and if like I asked got better or worse. Sometimes too much of something can be a bad thing.

LOL...it's all good.  Now if you asked the same question in the context of 'owning a golf membership' ,  I can relate to that.  There are lots of people who live on golf courses that don't even play the game.

For me.....unlimited golf playing privileges are an absolute must.

Yeah I'm a member currently, so that is covered. It more now about way easier access and surely hopping in more games. Just boils down to me finding time to work on things compared to being like a college kid at a nudie bar and going crazy there!

I used to live on a public course that I rarely played............ I didn't exactly front the course, but 4 houses away did front it.  Hehe..but I had a private golf membership elsewhere...........now that is IRONY!   Maybe that is why I responded the way I did

I find that you play more and practice less...which is fine since there are two kinds of golfers -players and practicers...

overall game has improved -especially the most important aspect short game...

one additional perk...I rarely if ever need to buy golfballs...play ProV1X  that are stockpiled in my closet   LOL

What are the tour pros classified as? lol

I think that living on a golf course would increase your practice and playing time.

 

Play, practice, practice, practice. Repeat.

I can relate..... I haven't stepped foot onto a driving range since 1995.  I just don't like beating balls.......I'd rather just go play.  I don't even hit any balls before a round.  I've been a member at my current course since 2006 and I have unlimited range use included......I've never once stepped foot onto that range.  it cracks some people up that I know...LOL

Whenever I go to the course....I'm playing.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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?
