I agree that this concept wouldn’t work for everyone at all times, but it is a great additional to the world of golf. There would certainly be logistical issues to deal with, but I think it would also bring more people into golf.

A lot of courses are having a hard time stying open. This approach could allow more people to play, thus helping the course as well.

When I start a round I want to finish it. This stop and go deal wouldn’t work for me. It’s all about getting in a grove, a rhythm, that makes a round great!

I feel this concept of playing 9 holes and another 9 at a later time in the week would work very well for women and men. Less use of babysitter time, more use of golf shop merchandise and helping women plan play with other people. This would also speed up golf time. People would be more relaxed knowing they could make the meeting or party with less hassle. Husband’s would make their wives happier not being on the golf course all day, leaving family time. One payment for all this golf would be great too Yes, yes, yes..

I have had many experiences where I could not get all 18 holes in, whether it was due to another appointment that forced me to quit early, or weather or darkness cutting me short. To be able to go back and get all the holes in sounds like a great idea to me. And being able to occasionally split up a round intentionally to work around my schedule also sounds appealing, especially if I have flexibility in when I can complete the round. Being able to go out and play 6 holes of golf on three different days, for example, really appeals to me. I don’t always feel like playing 18. Why not? If they can make it work, more power to them.

Agreed that this would be a tough nut to crack logistically, but some comments here show that “real golfers” like the idea. We’d lose a lot golf courses if all time crunched golfers switched to mini golf.

Absolutely ridiculous idea. No real golfer would play three holes one day and four holes the next and so on. If your that worried about the amount of time it takes to play a round of golf then go play mini putt-putt at your local mall. Not to mention the nightmare it would be to re-insert players on to the course after such an absence.

Hi Steve, I believe you’d have to pay more for additional rounds. They give you the 7-day window to complete one, 18-hole round.

You have mentioned “your round” several times in this article meaning one. So if you want to play two or more rounds, does it cost a multiple of that or is this basically a 7-day play how much you want ticket? Great idea though.

Man, that sounds like a great way to spend a day, William. Now, if I could only get the wife to sleep until 12:30….
