I only get a chance ususally when Iam on vacation...during that week I try to play 3-4x by myself and then usually every saturday with my buddy ...even when Iam away from my regular course, I know travel a few hours away and play in the same city as my kids live in...I can get my son to play on saturdays as well...thats an added bonus as his city has about 5-6 courses and one by a lake...its just beautiful.....i too work on things when iam by myself and i slice so badly that I always decline to go play in any tournament or really good golf course...so embarrassing.....but i keep trying!!!!!!
