Marathon Golf

[Fourputt]

When my brother and I get together we generally play a lot of golf, but this week is a record for us.  Monday - 36 holes; Tuesday - 18 holes; Wednesday - 27 holes; Thursday - 18 holes; Friday 36 holes.  And we have a 9:18 tee time today for our final 18 before he heads back to Idaho tomorrow.

That's 153 holes of golf on 7 different courses in 6 days (yes, riding not walking, but still...) and we aren't kids any more.  He's 65 and I'm 68, so I figure we aren't doing too bad at all.

Jeeez... I wish you were my brothers.

That's a lot of golf in such a short period of time. You should be commended on your play. You, and your brother probably need a pair of "Golf Ironman" badges sewn on your golf bags.

I once played 18 holes, 9 days in a row, on 9 different courses while on a golfing road trip. A few times I have played 54+ holes in one day at charity events.  Every so often I will play 18  holes, 4 straight days, on the same course for the fun of it.  Then compare my net score to the pros who played that week. Those 4 days of play are usually walking/trolley days. Those are my personal best. With the weather is finally cooling off around here,  I see a lot more weekly golf in my future.

That's strong! It would kick my butt, and I'm 10 years younger than you. :beer: Sounds like a great week!

And I'm another 12 or so years younger than you ... I honestly don't know if I could even pull that off. Very impressive Rick!

How's the body holding up? I've done, 18,36,18,18 before but you are passing that.

Most I've done as an adult is last summer - 18/24/18 Next week I'll be doing 36/36/18 so we'll have to wait and see how the body reacts.

That is pretty impressive. I would probably golf everyday if I could. I have done multiple days in a row and it seems after the fourth day i'm just kind of swinging and not into it as much. Granted it's after work or honey doo's and things.
