# Practice in 9Daily: replay past courses

https://9daily.golf/guides/practice · Updated 30 September 2026 · by the 9Daily team, Berlin

One round a day counts in 9Daily. If you want more, practice replays past courses, as often as you like, without pressure.

**In short**

- Practice in 9Daily replays any past day’s course, all nine holes.
- Practice never counts: not on the leaderboard, not in leagues, not for your streak.
- Today’s course is never available as practice, so nobody can try it before their real round.
- You can practice as often as you like.

## How do you start a practice round in 9Daily?

- **From Home:** Tap Practice and pick a past day.
- **After your round:** Play a practice round straight from your card.
- **From your streak:** With a free account, tap your streak to see every day you played and jump into one of them.

## What counts in 9Daily, and what doesn’t?

## Why can’t you practice today’s 9Daily course?

Everyone gets exactly one try at today’s 9Daily course. If today could be practiced first, the leaderboard would reward whoever practiced most. So practice starts with yesterday.

## What is 9Daily practice good for?

- **Learn a course type:** Replay a past links or lakes day to see how it plays. More in [course types in 9Daily](https://9daily.golf/guides/course-types).
- **Try the wind:** Pick a stormy day and practice holding the ball against it. Tips: [how to play wind and doglegs](https://9daily.golf/guides/wind-and-doglegs).
