The most I played was 81 holes over 3 courses in 3 days and walked the lot! I slept like baby the final night and my feet ached but i wouldn't hesitate to do it again!

Not any more. Used to play Admiral Baker North in the morning and then hit MCAS Miramar in the afternoon. I don't hardly walk it any more either unless I am destitute enough to only afford the walker rate. I cant stand to play executive courses (par 27). But would admit to their being more than likely help improve your short game.

Par 27 isn't an executive course, it's a par 3 course.  The shortest executive course I've played was par 31.

Well played 36 saturday for my club champs. 72-78 so this didn't count for me.

had big time trouble on the greens in the afternoon. not used to these speeds.

In rained overnight and was warm and windy all day. so greens dried out quick.

and became very fast.

ended the competition on sunday with a 75 ( 42/33 ) tied for 3rd position.

absolutely happy with this result.

I played 27 this past Saturday. There is actually a course where I normally play that is a 27 hole course. You only play 2 sets of 9 typically, but you can play another 9 holes for $3 plus your cart. We had time this weekend so we played all 27. Was really a great deal to play 27 unique holes at a really nice course for about $35.

We rode in a cart the whole time so I didn't get tired at all. We also had to wait about an hour for a tee time on the final 9 so we ate lunch in the clubhouse and hit the putting green until time to tee off. I played the best I have ever played on that last 9. I don't know if it was the extra practice putting or just being warmed up or what, but I shot a 46 and never had anything over a 6 which I've never done before sadly.

I think the benefit to playing more than 18 in a day is that you have more time to realize what you were doing wrong if you are having a tough day. This definitely was the case for me Saturday.

KICK THE FLIP!!

I struggle to get 18 in a week.  Even on vacations, I can play only 18 assuming I get a very early tee time so I can get back and do family activities.

Back when I was in high school 91-94, I would play a local course, Sleepy Hollow, Rome NY. They offered a flate rate all day fee. Parents would drop me off in the morning, pick me up at night. Using a pull cart, I'd typically do 4-5 18 holes... Now I'd be lucky to go 36... texas heat. Don't like carts.

    • Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.
    • Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.
    • That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.
    • This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.
    • He's right in what he's saying.I also have done this experiment with a golf shaft swinging with one arm at a time.one arm at a time is for me very fast but both hands together are very slow ..I got my 17 year old son to do this experiment and he swung very fast with either hand and he swung very fast with both hands together..My conclusion up to now is ; I'm not using my wrists properly but I not a 100 percent sure just yet..I will keep trying to fathom this out .I'm a 12 handicap and my son is 3.9 at Westlancs..
