Monthly Poll 2: on average, how long do you spend practising each week?

[NBonfield]

Again, answers much appreciated.

Many thanks,

I usually get Saturday as a golf day, practice in the morning and play early afternoon.

An hour or 2 pitching chipping and putting almost exclusively.

 

[Slab]

Minimum 2 range sessions plus putting & chipping

(Doesn't do much to improve the scoring though)

 

[One Planer]

As a general rule I use my 18 holes on a Saturday morning as my 'game' day, even if not playing a qualifier.

I would class my work on Sundays (Practice 9 holes or 2 hours chipping and pitching if the course is closed for comps), 11 holes on Thursday nights and my odd range session of a Tuesday as practice.

 

[Alex1975]

I do about two hours a night and about 3-4 at weekends... about an hour a week is constructive but its all fun!

 

[AmandaJR]

I practice on the range AND the course as often play on my own and hit a couple of balls if it's quiet...

Not voted yet though as not sure if playing on the course counts in this instance?

 

[Hobbit]

*cough* Zero

 

[Evesdad]

At the moment I've set up a practice area in the conservatory. I just use it to swing the club and keep the feeling going. This can add up to about 30mins to an hour a day. Then a bit of chipping practice in the garden. I voted 1-2 hrs as it can be a bit hit and miss as some days I don't get time, at this time of year if rather be out on the course. In the winter I will have a couple of range sessions and indoor practice.

 

[Imurg]

What is this strange word "practice"...?

 

[mcbroon]

One evening a week if I'm lucky. Usually play a few holes with a couple of balls, but I use the practice ground now and again.

 

[Iaing]

There should be an option for zero.

 

[Crow]

In the summer I try and get to the course in the evening once a week and often play on my own so I'm calling this practice.

I might occasionaly practice chipping at a plant pot or such in the back garden for half an hour, therefore, 3 to 5 hours for me.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

It depends. In the summer I may have one short game session but I am trying to play as much as I can and not practice as much. In the winter I will practice 3-5 hours per week to keep the swing going or work on drills following a lesson

 

[Jackooo]

Wholly dependant on whether I get any days off during the week, but will play all weekend, with an hour before.

 

[ScienceBoy]

Loads at this time of year, out 4 times a week. In the winter its less but still plenty if there is a local floodlit range.
