Twice a week weather permitting, once in the league, another with friends. On the off chance I may get out a third time. I have no idea how many times I playes lest year.

Thursday is league night, (22 weeks worth) 18 holes every Sundays with my wife or the guys if she doesn't feel like playing.  Couple of golf vacations each year, few outings and tournaments thrown in for good measure.

This year, I'm going to put a 'sub available' notice on the board at a course 5 minutes from my home.  Should be able to pick up another weeknight nine ... and hopefully for FREE!!!

No where near as much as i'd like.  With a busy college schedule i've only got to play 3 times this year, but im trying to find a way to to play at least once a week.  Once summer hits I'll probably play 2 or 3 times a week and be on a range every day.  Once i sharpen up my wedges and irons I feel like I have the potential to go REALLY low this year

In season, I played three 18-hole rounds a month, and one nine at a small course near my friend's house. I would usually hit balls before and after the round. Would get in an additional bucket and a separate chip-and-putt session each week after work.

I would like to get in about six rounds a month this summer, if I get more flex-time projects.

We got about 7 inches of snow this morning, so my "season" probably won't start until early April.

Focus, connect and follow through!

i don't get to play nearly as much as I would like.  Last summer I would get to play once ever week to 10 days and hopefully make the range / lesson, etc every week.

This summer I will be traveling for work and will be in hotel rooms at night with not much to do.  I am hoping to bring my clubs and play twilight municipal courses / practice 2-3 times a week and play 18 every other weekend.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

2x a week usually weekends with an occasional charity event during the week. practice at the "private range" 3-4 x a week mostly chipping (my weak spot)

Assuming I'm home all weekend, always on Sunday, and usually Saturday as well.  From spring through fall, I walk 9 a couple of times a week.  Usually I will also try to play on vacation or work travel.

Certainly 100 rounds a year and then some.

We play every weekend 9 or 18 and get to the range once a week that is of course if we are not on a Boy Scout outing. Although we go a lot less because he is starting his Eagle and of course he has a girl friend now we still get in a round.

Vacations have been more around the house so we play a bit more then but i would play every other day if i could.

For the most part, I play every weekend starting around the first of April and go thru mid November.  This year first of April start will be very suspect, as we still have snow on the ground with more expected early next week.

Now that my boss has gotten back into golf after a long layoff, he's become my regular playing partner. We go every Friday after work and play 9 or 18. I try to hit the range at least once a week.

Usually 2-4 times per week between April and September with a couple weeks off in the middle somewhere - usually during the hottest part of the summer.

Hit the range a couple times a week in March and April, then don't usually hit the range save for a session here and there for the rest of the summer.

Starting my season this weekend down in Nashville with a quick 4 rounds.

Even par through 9 is my best.  I don't even want to think about what was my worst.

If I don't play a minimum of at least 100 rounds of golf during a year.................. the year is considered a complete failure.  Of course I've played many, many more during some years........but a minimum of 100 is my minimum fail-safe.  anything less is a complete failure...........................................

I try to play twice a week if I can manage it, nine after school one day, and 18 on sunday.

Once AP Tests and college choices are over in May I'll be able to hit the range more, and I'll be playing a ton this summer.

    • Day 12: Same as last couple days, but focus was on recentering aspect of flow. When I recenter earlier I make decent contact most swings but if I recenter late or not at all it’s a roll of the dice. 
    • A couple of things.  Some of the clubs in your bag should be dropped immediately.  A 2-iron for example with what obviously seems to be a lower swing speed or possibly not great swing yet is a definite no-no.  To be hitting that 120-140 yards, which I assume includes run, is a sign that you are not getting the ball airborne at the correct angle to maximise distance.  The reason your 3 and 5 hybrid are going the same distance is that your launch angle is better with the 5.  Loft is your friend. Ideally I would suggest going to a golf or sporting store where you can hit golf balls on a simulator without being disturbed to understand your club carry distances and hopefully swing speed.  With that information we can definitely guide you better.
    • Let us be clear, unless you have proof of cheating, you just sound like a case of sour grapes.  In our club we have a guy who won club titles for many years.  Yes, he was a low single digit handicapper, but there have been quite a few others who played at his level.  Yet his mental strength and experience helped him win in many years when he shouldn't have.  Did he sandbag.  DEFINITELY NOT.  Did he just minimize his mistakes and pull out shots as and when needed.  Definitely.
    • Day 111 - Worked on my grip and higher hands in the backswing. Full swings with the PRGR. 
    • First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.
