Monthly poll: on average, how much time do you spend at the golf club each week?

[Crow]

Winter it's one round a week, middle of summer it can be up to three rounds plus a bit of practice, yearly average I'd guess just shy of 10.

 

[ScienceBoy]

Barely works out at an hour a week on average, probably getting 3 hours a month at the muni.

The rest is the driving range.

 

[mikejohnchapman]

Being retired I play on average 3 times a week through the season and revert to once plus range time in winter. Not restricted to my own course as I played over 30 last year.

 

[chrisd]

Since semi retiring I've played 3 times a week so the time does add up!

 

[brendy]

Being on the most expensive tariff (full member) for our club, I can only make time to play once a week and in for a quick coke/coffee due to family commitments. Seems a bit of a farce when you hear of the odd senior member complaining about costs when they pay less and play substantially more.

Ever was it thus...

I joined too late to make use of the young adult scheme as it was introduced after I turned 32, and I've still got 33 years until I get pensioner rates :rofl:

I would think I am there around 20 hours a week with medals, social and practice games. Throw in some time in the clubhouse too. I'd be there more if I had the time though!

 

[drewster]

5-10 unfortunately as I'd like it to be much more . Once the rugrats start to show some interest and are ready to start playing then that will hopefully increase !!!

 

[Qwerty]

Id say 10-15 on average during the summer. 1 comp round then maybe 2 x 9 holes, a spot of lunch an a couple of drinks.

 

[GB72]

At present, less than 5 hours a week. Probably increases to nearer 10 in the Summer. Simple fact is that I am not a great fan of the clubhouse, stuffy, no sport, cannot use my phone or the internet and few people of my age in there and so I would rather go down the pub after a round.

 

[Val]

Through the summer it's 4 rounds a week on average

 

[Slab]

Normally a round a week so went for 5-10 but its much closer to 10 as there's always 'afters'

 

[Sir Scoop-A-Lot]

I like to spend my time at the club as its with like minded, friendly people. I often stop in just for a pint on the way home instead of using a local public house.

 

[Fish]

Wow, I'm really surprised at the figures so far, 10hrs max is 2 x 4hr rounds and very little time in the clubhouse afterwards!

I use my club almost as my local, if I have spare time I drop in for a quick drink and even something to eat along with a game of snooker. I try to play [golf] at least 3 times a week but if not a minimum of twice with some practice time thrown in during the week in the winter and 4 times (lighter nights) in the summer.

I always have a drink and some crumpets after a game, sometimes a club sandwich. I also attend the free mid-week draw nights, at £440 currently it would be daft not to as you have to be on site to win the lolly.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Went for 20-30 but in the summer it becomes a second home

 

[hines57]

During the winter it's once a week with some social time to follow. When the longer days are with us, twice a week is the goal.

 

[ColchesterFC]

Unfortunately I had to vote for less than 5 hours a week as due to work and family commitments I don't get to play as much as I'd like to. If only that elusive Euromillions win would come my way then I would've picked over 30 hours.

 

[Oxfordcomma]

Not enough

Another vote here for this option. Nick, we needed this on the poll!

Work and family mean that I average less than one trip per week at the moment, it's dropped drastically from the 2-3 rounds per week a couple of years ago.

 

[MizunoGreyhound]

Try to play twice a week if time permits. Time in the clubhouse after, plus Thursday night draw night (similar to Fish) with same principal of cash draw, means 10-20 hours easily. If they allowed me in as I dress for walking the dog, it may be an extra hour or two on top.

 

[needmoreclub]

Far too many hours at the club doing match sec duties, then try and fit in some golf as well, in excess of 30 hrs. Wouldn't have it any other way.
