Anyone considered leaving their club for a year and spending their time and money on coaching and practice instead?

Nope.
I want to get better, but not that much.

Best place to improve your game is in club comps with a lesson or two thrown in and then you can practice on the course or practice ground.
I can't see you giving you membership up as a positive move to improvment.

At the end of the day you can have as much practice/coaching as you like but the whole idea is to play the game. How would you be able to tell if the coaching/practice was having a positive effect if you didn't actually play.

Nope, I would rather be bad and out on the course for the year than better but spending all my time on the range. Improvement is something I would like but being out on the course for the competition and banter is the main thing.

I would love to from a golf point of view but I would miss my friends and the great social aspect of the game we enjoy.
I guess good golf and social golf don't go hand in hand so you need to asses what your looking for.
I still think you would want to be a member of a club though. As proper practise includes playing on course.
Practise session - 9 holes - Lesson - 9 holes - Putting.
Something like that anyway.
If you want to be good at most things the less friends and other distractions the better.

Maybe if I wasn't getting value out of my membership then I'd consider it. I need to play about 2.5 rounds a month to break even.
And I think I would probably want to play at least 3 times a month as well as coaching and practising to make sure what I'd been working on the range on was transferring to the course.
Golf to me is half technique\skill and half mental.
Until you're out on the course faced with some difficult shots you don't know how you're technique and skill will hold up.
On the range there are no consequences of a bad shot !! Unless it's really bad you might break something I guess

Nope. Even as a confessed practice freak there is nothing like playing the course especially straight from work in the summer with the sun on your back. Add in all the competitions, roll ups with mates and banter in the 19th doesn't a year of solitude and practice drills seem dull in comparison

Sounds a silly, idea!
