I play more days than I don't in a week at the moment, so playing 10+ days isn't out of the ordinary, though I've never counted.
A couple of weeks back I played...
29 on Monday
33 Tuesday
36 Wednesday
18 Thursday
33 Friday
36 Saturday
36 Sunday

At our course the 9th is well away from the club house so you can play 9, then 17 & 18, or play 1 to 15 or the full 18 hence the odd numbers above.
I am also fortunate enough to be working from home, so can get out at 7am most weekdays and play 11, 15 or 18 and be back for ~9am most days, quiet course and single player!

Edit to say, my golf has levelled out to be pretty consistent as a result, but not getting better.
Chipping is picking up massivly though

3 days in a row. Mrs was away or that'll never fly unless I went for a trip. I didn't tire or get irritated by it, in fact I loved it. Not sure if it would make me better per say in general, around that particular course, yes. I find when I have a problem I am the worse person to diagnose it so I end up either compacting that fault or not using that shot until I see a pro.

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.
That sounds absolutely bizarre. Did you spend any time doing anything else? Surely a day at the beach or a water park or something would have n
been more fun that yet another 36 holes of golf?

Yeah, that sounds insane. Like the golfing equivalent of when a dad catches his lad smoking and forces him to smoke a whole pack or two until he's sick of it as punishment.

Don't think I could manage that myself and I'm only 34. :oops:

During the 90's I used to organise a trip to Scotland every year for a group of us.
36 holes a day for 6 days, carrying!
I think the only thing that kept us going was the fact that we were playing a different course each day, so the interest was kept high.
I remember the very last year we went, I'd had enough after the Friday morning round, and just walked it in the afternoon. Couldn't be bothered to try to swing a club anymore.
After that we started to venture further afield and going to the Algarve or Spain, one round a day which was much more enjoyable.

As a junior back in the 70's I played every day of the school holidays so 42 days in a row averaging 27 holes a day. A few decades on and I've usually had enough after three consecutive days.
