How often should you play to improve?

Use youtube to find some good videos on posture and stance and learn the basics of how to actually address the ball. This is easy to do Infront a big mirror and make sure what you see in the mirror is the same as the video. Learn that then start looking at the takeaway and again do this slow time and learn by looking in the mirror. You would be amazed that just by learning to address the ball and take the club away correctly will help your swing become more consistent. Gets putting mat too as I bet you could shave 10 shots off a end just by learning to putt better. You can do all this without even the house.

I think he meant LEAVING the house, Mr Adey is 100% correct here. Practice at home , just 5-10 mins a night can work wonders.

Playing every other week is no problem if that is all you can fit in. Just practice where you have time and space.

I liked the look of those floppy balls, bashing those in the home sounds a great idea!

what you like to do in your house is your business and I do not need to read about I it on here. But I've heard a rumors that Viagra can help with those problems.......

One thing that has really helped my swing settle down this year is practicing at home. I'm quite lucky in that I can do a full swing upto a 5 iron in the conservatory. Just swinging away while waiting for the kettle etc has really helped. Hank Haney had a piece recently where he said doing a 100 swings a day will have a huge impact on results. No ball required. I just concentrate on back swing and impact. I like to hear the club off the rug at impact. Chipping in the garden at a washing basket or something is another good one. I've had more chip ins than my hcp would suggest.

My better half hates it though! Quite happy for me to play Saturday mornings as I'm home just after lunch so nothing missed as both our girls have swimming lessons. Also in the summer I can get out for 9/18 holes mid week after the kids are ready for bed. Luckily my work hours have changed so have 2 afternoons off so I use one to get 9 holes in or a practice session at the course. Throw in the odd trip to the range of an evening.
