ZenGolfer Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Ive golfed more, mostly because I was on furlough for 6 weeks and had nothing but time last spring. sirchunksalot and GolfSpy_SHARK 2 Quote "I suppose its better to be a master of 7 than to be vaguely familiar with 14." - Chick Evans Whats in my Sun Mountain 2.5+ stand bag?

PMookie Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Probably down a bit. I normally travel 2 nights a week and take my clubs, so without the travel I’ve really only played on Sundays. I’m guessing I’m down two rounds a month on average.

CarlH Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I've golfed less, but it's been because of weather/season, not the virus for me. Tournament play has been down, as many were cancelled because of social distancing concerns.

2puttbogey Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Less. Was playing twice a week and now just once. Was practicing a couple times a week as well.

sirchunksalot Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I played less last year, not so much pandemic related, but because of work and weather. After we returned from our furlough of 7 weeks we made up for it working late and a lot of Saturday's. I think I worked over 9 extra weeks last year in overtime. I know it was over 360 hours.

Kenny B Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Less because of the shutdown in March/April, but after that... about the same. However, it's more difficult to get a tee time; more people playing than in years past.

ParFore74x Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Definitely played more last year than I usually do. When the courses were walking only, most people stayed away and I was there regularly. I also like to go for the early morning tee times. Course is starting to get busy as I make the turn and I am clear of almost everyone else.

Buffly Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Less, way less. Two big contributing factors: 1. Funds ran extremely low for a 6+mo stretch. I didn't want to interact with the public for the off chance of passing Covid to loved ones. 2. The cost to golf went up dramatically in my area due to the new found popularity of golf because it was the only activity available which also made tee times tougher to get. I'm my region of Orange County CA there is a golf management company called American Golf that manages quite a few municipal courses within a 30 mile radius. They had a very attractive membership to my local course which included 100 practice balls a day in the range and no cart fee for golf with a free beverage with the round. Additionally, they had a feature allowing you to get the same discounted rate at their sister courses for a $1 extra reservation fee online and you pay the green fee at the course. But, Covid eliminated the use of sister courses, green fees went up, and carts are now extra. Before Covid: weekday twilight round after 1pm was $10 with a cart and an adult beverage at my home course. Similar rates in the $13-20 range at sister courses with the same deal and a $1 reservation fee. After Covid: no sister course discounts, $15 to walk, $28 to ride and no beverage The membership was $34 per month with is still with it for the range balls. I will probably sign up next month again. I miss the cheap greens fees with options.

Tom the Golf Nut Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I played about the same amount however the make up was very different. I played more locally due to Covid related travel restrictions. So all my out of town/ state events were cancelled. But I did fill that time with playing more at home. My course was never shut down so that helped.

MNUte Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Like others on here, I golfed a bit more overall due to the extra time, but switched almost exclusively to 9 hole rounds. Fortunately or unfortunately, the pandemic has been good for sparking new interest in golf. So I'm ecstatic that my local courses were able to survive and thrive, but it's meant packed courses. Though that has also forced me to try new courses and discover new favorites. Which has in turn helped my game. Quote Rag tag bag, but it does the job. Taylormade R1 driver. Ping G400 3 wood.

Larryd3 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I golfed quite a bit more during 2020. Was the one thing we could do safely and with less concern about covid transmission. I posted 120 rounds into ghin during 2020. 15 so far this year. I know towards the beginning of the pandemic, I didn't play that much for a couple months but made up for it later in the year.

HardcoreLooper Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I probably went out and played some kind of golf about the same amount. But a fair amount of it was par 3 courses with the girls. Only 44 rounds in GHIN for 2020; I'm usually well over 50. This year will be interesting. Only three rounds in so far this year, and another crappy weather week. Gonna have to make up for it when the weather warms up.

BIG STU Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Jan thru April played quite a bit due to being semi retired and we had a mild dry winter last year. Our courses stayed open---- April until December not much but not because of Covid but because of my broken back and shoulder. But if we can get a break in the weather I think I am healed up enough to make a go at it again. Now I have to lose quite a bit of weight.

russtopherb Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I played more, mostly due to needing to use up earned time off. Things I normally took time off for during the year were cancelled so I had to use up time before I hit my cap, which led to a number of Wednesday morning rounds with a few friends, whereas I normally would only have played 18 on the weekends.
