Max consecutive golf days?

[VVega]

What is the max no. days in a row have you played? Doesn’t matter how many holes (9/18) just how many consecutive days of golf you had.

Second point: did you improve because of it, got tired/fed up etc?

Just played 6 days in a row (mostly quick 9 holes but also two 18-hole rounds). Feels good, possibly improving.

Played up at Enville this week and there was a guy there has just played 20 rounds in 5 days????

 

[Imurg]

When I got made redundant in '97 I spent my 6 weeks out of work playing golf in the morning and job hunting in the afternoon or vice versa....
So 40 days +/-....
And the handicap dropped from 10 to 7...

3 is the most I've done, do these people not have jobs? My short game definitely improved, chipping and putting became really sharp. Longer game tired towards the end of round 3 so that balanced things out to an extent. Scoring definitely improved though.

I'm not an obsessive, i need a break to keep things fresh.

Once played for 5 days on the run. It tipped me over the edge. I felt as if I was going through the motions last off.

 

[Italian outcast]

just planning a 5 day stretch in and around St Andrews in September - thats as much as I have ever done in 20 years

 

[PJ87]

Most I've done is 4 which was twice

Was away trip so did have buggys the entire first time round

Second time round 3/4 rounds was buggys

Did help the golf ..

 

[Jamesbrown]

Not sure but I used to play everyday when I first got the bug. I used to pray for rain so I didn’t have to play.

 

[Papas1982]

Done 10 in y days multiple times in Portugal.

Probably 20 days is most.
At that point was happy to take a break tbh.

Golf holiday in Florida just the lads.
36 holes everyday for 14 days on the trot. And 18 the day we flew home so 15 days total.
I was sick of golf after that ,almost every muscle was aching after I got home.
Muscles had the twitches on the plane coming home it was very strange.

8 rounds in 6 days for me. Too much to really enjoy them all. 3 days then a break seems to be about the sweet spot for me.

That’s extreme! Did you have an ice bath at the end of each day?

 

[KenL]

My record is 10 rounds in 8 days.

 

[MarkT]

Other than junior days did 12 rounds, all proper courses and back tees etc, in a week which got the better of me physically, mentally, spiritually and financially. Peaked in rds 4 & 5 and was ordinary at best thereafter. If I ever did anything similar again would mix it up with foursomes, greensomes, short courses and less booze

 

[nickjdavis]

Went up to Scotland for a golf break in 2012....played 4 rounds on consecutive days, returned home (same day as last round) and the next day played 36 holes.

The others are a bit younger than me.
It was like a military operation.
But I was getting up in the morning and thinking “ Christ I have to play golf again”
We go every year but I play 3 days then have a day off now.
But they leave me in the Villa and go play.
Great fun I love it.

 

[GG26]

Played 8 consecutive days in June/July last year whilst on furlough. All one round a day.

 

[Rlburnside]

Think the most I played was 8 days on the trot on a golf break playing a few different courses and would do it again if I had the chance

 

[Orikoru]

Two I think. Might have done three, I can't really remember. I could probably manage three days in a row but I wouldn't fancy doing a fourth, I'd want a day off from it really. You can have too much of a good thing.

 

[HeftyHacker]

4 for me. Started well and progressively got worse.

I think because I'm still trying to improve i start off just worrying about getting my ball in the hole so not thinking too much about the swing itself etc.

After a few days I then start overthinking my swing and end up blagging my own head.

Didn't help that those four days also included hikes and bike rides. Fatigue definitely played a part.
