Great topic! I'm guilty. My reason may differ from most, but you asked so her's my story. I used to play once a week when I lived in Tennessee. When I moved here to the land of many golf courses 11 years ago I had plans to play much more...year round. My son landed a job as a golf director at one of the resorts and we played 60 or so courses in the next year or so...awesome!!! Heavenly actually. I continued to play fairly often for the next few years.

At some point the locals discounts seemed to erode, the economy began to suck, and I had to work harder and longer hours to make less money, and now I'm hardly playing at all. Still think about it...dream about it....look forward to a time when I can return to playing on a regular basis.

I need to play! Gotta make the time.
