    Default Practice, how much do you do and how often?

    Just curious as to how much practice other golfers do.


    What is your current HC? I don't have a HC at present however I would honestly give myself 18 ATM

    How long have you been playing for? I've been playing for 4 and a half months (haven't played for well over 15 years played off 4 when I was 16 on a pretty easy straight foward course with no water or troubling OOB and no teal trouble)

    How many hours a week do you practice? I probably practice for 15 hours a week.

    What HC do you want to get to? I want to get to 5 by end of next year.

    I practice 2-3 hours a day,mostly long irons and hit them perfect 50% of the time. I play off 18 and I am a good golfer and only play tough courses so I know what I am talking about.

    Practice on a range is boring and tiring, so I don't bother.

    Every round I play is practice for the next one. For the year before the last 10 weeks, I would have averaged around 36 holes of play a week and got down to 8. With less golf, I was a 10 or 11 marker. I started playing competitively about 12 years ago, but have never done much practice.

    I was wrapped to get down to 8, and now that I'm working again I think it would be great to stay in single figures.

    Same here.

    Play off 13
    Played for 11 years
    Never go to the range. Play 9 holes most Friday arvs. That's my practice. Play a couple of comps a month.
    I have no handicap target. I don't have the time or inclination to put in the practice to get to single figures.
