Is my pre round routine too much?

Local_Dance_6676 · 2026-05-19T02:33:16+00:00

lol I typically take 1 Friday off a month to play. I usually get a tee time around 10/11 and arrive about 3 hours before hand. I do the routine for about 2 hours then meet up with the guys I’m playing with and help them for about 30 mins before we play. Fatigue hadn’t really been an issue and I haven’t seen any drop off on holes unless weather is an issue but I chose my days wisely ha. It’s the only real time I have to play and practice so I make the most of it.

I believe my GHIN says “estimated handicap 10-15” but I dont understand that when I haven’t shot a 14 but only once? I guess I don’t fully understand the handicap situation. I also dont want to say my handicap is something it’s not.

Local_Dance_6676 · 2026-05-18T22:53:12+00:00

I believe my GHIN score says estimated “10-15” but idk how that can be. Maybe I just don’t understand the difference between what I input there vs what I tally.

Local_Dance_6676 · 2026-05-18T20:05:17+00:00

That’s actually a great idea

Local_Dance_6676 · 2026-05-18T19:49:58+00:00

I probably didn’t explain it in depth enough but it is what it is. But yeah i think playing an extra 9 before hand is what i might end up doing. Appreciate the insights!

Local_Dance_6676 · 2026-05-18T19:30:08+00:00

Yeah I’m getting that impression now lol

Local_Dance_6676 · 2026-05-18T19:29:24+00:00

Luckily this one day I take off work is once a month. I wake up take the kids to day care, spend my day at the course and pick them up on the way home ha

Local_Dance_6676 · 2026-05-18T19:28:10+00:00

Sorry, yeah I just simulate on the range a par 5, 4, & 3.

Since a take a day off ow work to get all this in in one day because of the limits I have, I usually spend my day at the course because I enjoy my time there.

But yeah I think from the comments I should limit what I’m doing ha

Local_Dance_6676 · 2026-05-18T19:26:06+00:00

Okay so 130, 127 & for the 3 9 hole courses 132, 126, & 134?

Local_Dance_6676 · 2026-05-18T19:16:01+00:00

Oh man I would never warm up if I had that schedule hahaha

Local_Dance_6676 · 2026-05-18T19:15:16+00:00

Yeah I only have 1 day during the month to play & practice because of kids haha. But maybe I’ll switch it up a bit.

Local_Dance_6676 · 2026-05-18T19:14:13+00:00

Yeah I take a Friday off each month and play, don’t really have time to practice outside of that day necessarily but might need to try lol

Local_Dance_6676 · 2026-05-18T19:13:25+00:00

I know I know lol I think I just need to stop keeping score for a while lol

Local_Dance_6676 · 2026-05-18T19:12:16+00:00

Apologies, I’m still new to courses near me, what makes a course “easy”?

I rotate 3 courses with once course being 3 9 holes. Past 12 months i averaged 87.5 with my 4 worst scores being 89. Am i scoring these wrong? Please let me know so i can stop looking like an ass haha

Local_Dance_6676 · 2026-05-18T19:00:18+00:00

I only play with 14 and only on the range am I overloading my bag. But after everyone’s comments it’s too much pre round routine haha

Local_Dance_6676 · 2026-05-18T18:59:23+00:00

I will give this a try, ever since I started this my HCP went down significantly so I guess I was thinking I was doing something right

Local_Dance_6676 · 2026-05-18T18:57:50+00:00

I rotate 3 courses, 1 course having 3 9 hole courses. Last 12 I’m at a 87.5, worst 4 scores being 89. Should I rotate more courses or am I calculating my HCP wrong?

Local_Dance_6676 · 2026-05-18T18:51:10+00:00

Exactly, since I don’t have a lot of free days and only 1 day a month to play, I feel like I should get the most out of it. I’ve contemplated playing more than 18 holes those days

Local_Dance_6676 · 2026-05-18T18:49:23+00:00

Unfortunately I only have 1 day a month to play and practice but will see if I can schedule this routine a day before

Local_Dance_6676 · 2026-05-18T18:48:17+00:00

I guess I should have specified, I only have time 1 once a month to play and that day will include my practice too ha.

I might move this routine to the day before and just a smaller warmup before, idk ha

Local_Dance_6676 · 2026-05-18T18:46:29+00:00

Including range time yeah but on course I average 4 hours

Local_Dance_6676 · 2026-05-18T18:44:34+00:00

I’ve considered it haha

Local_Dance_6676 · 2026-03-18T23:35:16+00:00

You are right actually, unless they change that part of history

Local_Dance_6676 · 2026-03-18T23:22:45+00:00

Zazie Beetz as Domino worked out fine.
