How frequent do you play golf?

[RobotDoctor]

Not frequent enough. 

[RoyalStr8Flush]

I logged 88-90 rounds last year. I'm pretty sure a couple rounds were 36 holes (both times different courses in the morning and afternoon) but I couldn't find those on my calendar...

[SnowbirdTom]

2023?  Four for four.  It will be five/five tomorrow.  😁

[daegyu]

Probably 60 rounds in 2022. Member at a private club so I'm definitely not getting my money's worth. Nice to play a few of those rounds under 2 hours though. 

[HyzerFlipDG]

usually at least twice a week and usually more than 18 holes. in the summer I try to play at least 2 rounds every time i'm at the course.  so probably somewhere in the 150+ rounds a year area.

For those showing a decline.  Please review and consider the following: 

 

 

X axis = # years of marriage 

Y axis = # of rounds played per year 

 

 

A - commonly called the "first year of marriage dip" shows a sharp reduction in rounds played 

B - many guys get to stage B after 4 years of marriage and life is good (compromise is made) life continues 

C-  the other guys with signs of possible marital trouble reach year 4 and things take a different path, a sharp decline 

C-D - the critical years, either a bounce back, "marriage recovery" or D = Divorce 

E - Back to the single life, possible rekindling of a marriage or "special arrangements" are made  

 

 

 

 

2022 was a rocket ship straight to E after my wife received an absolutely viscious bite from the golf bug. She insists on playing 18 every Sat/Sun, rain or shine. We've played when it was 34*, we've played when it was 100*+. We've played in the snow, we've played in the near dark. She insisted in October that we join a local club because "the math works out."

 

It's possible I died and went to heaven, but since I have shown only modest improvement even while playing so much, there's a chance I may actually be in the other place.

Great news.

Not enough.

[MattM97]

Last year was 1-2x a month if I was lucky. Friends didn't want to play a ton for various reasons and solo golf where I am can be annoying to book. This year I'm traveling for work more in more rural areas and looking at bulk of the courses I think only 1 was over $50 CAD for 18 but when I plan to play is probably under $30 CAD for twilight rate so I'm going to bring my clubs with me and play a lot more. Hoping for 50 rounds this year which would be about 4x more than last year.

[Buzzkill]

300+

[third-times-a-charm]

Full 18 hole rounds? 1-2 a month.

 

9 holes? 2-3 times a week.

 

100 balls at the range? Also 2-3 times a week.

 

If I didnt have kids it would probably be more 😂

[SnowbirdTom]

Today makes 9 for 2023 with a couple intense short game range sessions this past weekend.  It’d be more rounds but tweaked the lower back and took three days off.

X3. 900, I’m not sure I could swing………..

[cohenfive]

I rarely play a full 18 hole round of golf..usually I sneak out in the afternoon for 2-3 hours and play as many holes as I can get in that window...which means 12-15 holes if the course is not crowded. I no longer have the patience for the long weekend morning 5 hour slog. I try to play once a week, but probably average 3 times a month during good weather.

[jmillertwo4]

I usually play 7-8 holes 3-4 times a week.  Our daycare is right on the golf course, so I play as many holes as I can after work before I need to pick them up.  It's kinda hard only getting 7-8 in, but it's better than nothing!

[Skrimpdelite]

Try to get a round a week of full 18. During the week probably 2-3 times on the simulator playing 18. So far in 2023 around 7 rounds

[pgheaja]

I play 9 or 18 every week from April-October.  I work close to a golf course so during the week I'll chip and putt at their practice green often.  I practice and play 3-4 rounds per week on a sim during the winter.  My kids are in HS and drive so they're fairly independent.  My wife is a realtor and works a lot of weeknights and weekends when busy.  I play when I have an opportunity and they are more frequent lately.  Last year I had 25 full rounds on grass.   

[deadsolid...shank]

I’m really lucky now to get in two rounds  rounds in a month. I did get into our league last year, so I do at least have 9holes every Wednesday. I do stop at the course after work when I can and play a couple of holes (if I can find a gap somewhere). 

[AndyMcG]

Winters are a bit miserable where I am so I play about twice a month at this time of year. Then twice a week spring, summer and autumn. 

[SnowbirdTom]

Averaging 20 rounds per month so far in 2023.  Life is good, but wearing a visor yesterday was a mistake.  Scorched my scalp up high.  🤣

[YankeesChiefsMizzou]

Well I am a college student now, but try to get out about once every week or two. Ready to graduate and get out more!

[lefthack]

I was playing 3-4 rounds of nine a week last year,I hope to maintain that pace. The wife is supposed to play more this year, so we will see.

[Naptime]

3x/week these days

 

[st1800e]

140 games last season. And I had 3 weeks off mid summer. If we’re lucky we get mid April to Mid October. 

[Kacy]

Same boat as you brother. 3 kids under 5 I went from playing 3-4 time per week to 2 per month. Lucky enough to have enough property to have a 150 yd driving range and believe it or not my game is better than it’s ever been!

[golowgolf801]

Play 9 holes during the week for mens league and try to play Saturday tournaments or friendly money game.

Same for me

[TallGuy90]

I am lucky to get 9 in a week. Two kids 5 and 3. 

[Power Fader]

Twice a week in Phuket

[DLiver]

I usually play around 80 rounds/yr, unless injuries get in the way. For me, that works out to about twice a week--I'm retired so I don't play in bad weather unless I'm in a tournament or on a golf trip. I do hit balls, chip or putt most days that I'm not playing. I would play more, but (for me) the games takes too long. Basically it eats up most of the day unless I can get out first thing.

 

I realize I am super lucky to have these opportunities. 😃
