Counting Rounds 2023

Probably should as the shite I played last year with the society I'd be off 20.

I reckon boardsies are playing a lot more than the average club golfers, in particular in our age profile. If you think of the average numbers of a Sunday comp compared to the membership numbers - would you have 20% of the members out in it? You've obviously got another 6 days for people to get out, but there are an awful lot of lads playing multiple times each week. It's all guess work from me, but I'd be amazed if 40% of golfers are getting out once a week. I suspect the average number of rounds a club golfer plays each year is actually quite low and I'd say the median is very low.

From my own point of view, I'd absolutely love to play once a week, but I doubt I'll ever get to that stage. As the kids grow older and maybe the wife and I get jobs that we can both finish at 5 each day I'm hoping to have a couple of evenings free again each week - but I'll have to prioritise exercise. I'm in the worst shape of my life (round) and while golf is great, it won't fix that. And at the weekends we'll have kids activities and it would be nice to do family things while they're young enough to want to do them. I don't see where the time will come from to play golf more than about twice a month for the next decade or so.

I'd be in the same boat as you bob.

Mrs. Break quite happy to see the back of me, but even when the kiddies were at home I always had 5 hrs Saturday or Sunday morning to play my club golf.

You could always squeeze in a few hrs during the week for practice at the range.

Both of us worked full time so it can be done. Need to strap on a pair and review the contract I'm thinking lads.
