Really depends on how serious I take it. During the golf season, I use League play as my "practice." It's my excuse to play/practice at least once a week. I don't like hitting off mats. I think that's one of the reasons why I don't hit balls enough. There are very few courses or practice facilities that allow hitting off grass near me. The course closest to me has a short game practice area, which is where I spend most of my time. If I know I have an event coming up in the near future, then I'll find a way to practice more. I'll make it my priority to go after work every day & practice in some sort of way.
