OK, we're at that time of year where many of us in colder parts of the world end up taking a break from golf. In my case. I had a break between mid/early December and this last weekend, about 7 weeks, and I am now trying to get back in the groove during a trip over 3 weeks in Dallas (last weekend), Phoenix (this weekend) and Florida (later next week). Played two rounds in Dallas and definitely was rusty. Made me wonder how long a layoff before your game suffers appreciably and how long and what does it take to sharpen it again?
So, my questions are:
1) How long a layoff before your game shows significant negative effects?
2) How long and what does it take to get your edge back?
For me, I think I can go as much as 3 weeks without swinging a club and, while there are some negative effects, I can probably knock the rust off in one round or so. Beyond that, I think I really need 2-3 rounds and some significant range time to feel like I am playing my best.
