(Wow)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

I love golf… and sometimes, when I’m out on the links, I have random thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of which is, with all the golfers out there in the world right now, how many rounds of golf are played daily?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On average, over 1 million rounds of golf are played everyday. That’s a whopping 377,200,000<\/a> golf rounds are played every year. However, the numbers can vary annually depending on several personal and economic factors.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on, my fellow golfers, for I have looked at the data and found some interesting facts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many golf rounds are played daily around the world?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the American Society of Appraisers, a whopping\u00a0377,200,000<\/a> golf rounds are played every year! That number was taken from a study done in 2012, so with the game’s growing popularity, the number has grown exponentially, especially during the pandemic.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

There’s a lot of golf players despite the stigma that it’s only for wealthy people<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

What does that mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ever since the\u00a0economic troubles<\/a>\u00a0began in 2006, the amount of golf rounds played has been reduced by 2.3% compared to earlier years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the number of golf courses has\u00a0declined<\/a>\u00a0in recent decades, but new ones also continue to spring up worldwide. In 2019, a study concluded that there were\u00a038,864<\/a>\u00a0golf courses on the planet. And if current trends continue, not as many new courses will spring up in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, with\u00a079 million<\/a>\u00a0people of the baby boomer generation here in America on their way to retirement, both the construction of golf courses and rounds could increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warmer areas such as Florida can expect\u00a0more golfing customers in the coming years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many rounds of golf can you do in one day?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If we\u2019re talking strict numbers here, in 2021, Guinness World Records cited the most rounds played by a single person was\u00a014<\/a>, with the title being held by Jurg Randegger, a Swiss golfer. And believe me, it was no easy feat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do this, Jurg had to spend around\u00a012 hours<\/a>\u00a0walking and swinging away. Using only a 7-iron, he walked a staggering 93 kilometers (57.8 miles), and scored an unbelievable 252 holes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, as we both know, playing golf for\u00a0that<\/em>\u00a0long can\u2019t be done all in one go. He\u00a0had<\/em>\u00a0to stop for a bathroom break at the very least, right? The answer is\u00a0yes, and he also had to change into drier clothes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doing\u00a0anything<\/em>\u00a0for 12 hours straight is going to come with some costs, namely how much energy we\u2019d have to spend golfing the entire time. Even an avid golfer like myself gets tired after golfing from dawn till dusk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do Golfers Need to be Fit?<\/a> Absolutely!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For us mere mortals, we can do\u00a0several things\u00a0to keep on playing. Going online to compare booking times for multiple courses can give us an excellent start. The earlier tee time begins, the more likely we\u2019re able to play the longest day of golf we\u2019ve ever had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whereas the tee time might not be a significant factor, especially on courses with different schedules, there\u00a0could<\/em>\u00a0be a difference between whether we will play a game of golf in the\u00a0first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we both know, having one person ahead of us being late for tee time can be just downright rude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even for golf courses, time is money. The more tee times they can get in, the\u00a0more profit\u00a0they will make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, it only makes sense that we make it on time to tee off, and staff might tell us to hurry up! In fact, to better our chances to play more rounds than ever before, it\u2019s a good idea to show up\u00a0early, up to an hour, so we can do important things like eat and stretch before that first swing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And like most golf games, playing for as long as possible requires recognizing several other factors. Some of these\u00a0include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
