Burn out

[Bamberdele2.0]

Anyone had this recently?

Played Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday just trying to make the most of the decent weather.

Walked off yesterday on the 17th. Probably the worst I can remember playing for a long time.

Not sure how people do it unless they are in buggy’s.

Shattered.

Some people can play every day. For me, 2 days on the trot is enough. 2 maybe 3 times per week if spread out.

Would love to be burnt out, two games in 10 days is my max playing time, with a range session or two thrown in.

As it was warm (hot?) I suspect that you didn't take on enough fluids during your rounds and that affected your play. people often neglect getting enough water down their neck when the temperature goes up.

I played 6 rounds in 6 days last year on a trip to Scotland....to be honest the last day was a bit of a struggle.

I use a buggy but would still be shattered if I played 2 days in a row. I do it occasionally and regret it the third day.

 

[sweaty sock]

I normally play 2 days in a row sometimes 3. Theres normally a notable drop off in talent on the 3rd day...

Im only 28 - In the school summer holidays (I work in a school) I have played for about 20+ days straight in the past but always found it harder after a very hot day.

My advice would be to slow down, take plenty of drinks and calories on board and play early before it gets too hot.

Play varying game types and dont be in a rush to play through every group!

Lightweights.....
Played 57 rounds in the last 85 days....
Loving it!

Most I ever do is play 3 days in a row, and I probably play best on the middle day usually. Hot off the practise of the first day but not knackered yet.

When I'm not playing I can't wait for the next round, but realistically, even if I was retired and rich I highly doubt I'd play every day. Probably 4 times a week tops.

It has a lot to do with your weight, fitness and age no doubt.

Haha, but OP is quite young and in decent shape if I recall correctly..

And I'm a blind, bald, overweight cripple who turns 59 this summer....

Is this a joke thread? It's playing golf not long distance running. I can see why people get mentally tired with it but physically?

 

[Tashyboy]

A few years back we played four days on the spin in the northeast.Played Ripon on the way back. That Fifth round in five days was to much. All four of us said it was a round to much. Never again.

I will be 60 in a couple of weeks and still play in 36 hole comps pushing a trolley. We played 8 times in 7 days a month ago when in Turkey. Is there such a thing as “too much golf”?

I suspect the replies are not separating the two. Equally, to be fair, we are in a warm spell and the course of the OP might be long and hilly.

A group of us go to Portugal each September. We play 5 games in six days. At the end of it I'm golf'ed out. Quite happy not to see my clubs again for a few weeks.

 

[Oddsocks]

Sod that, 3 days on the trot of for holidays abroad c/w buggies and beer.

I get golf burn out sometimes. Played in Spain last month for 3 days in a row, didn’t play for the next 2 weeks and didn’t miss it at all! Probably happens a couple of times a year, I’ll have a bad couple of rounds, not really know why and end up having a couple of weeks off and feeling benefit afterwards. Glad it’s not just me!
