6 Ways to Enjoy Golf More
Although golf is game loved by many, there are times when we wish the game was never invented. You can make those times less frequent by using a few of these suggestions.
1. Don’t ride, walk the course. Many suggest that walking is not only the purist way to play the game, but it can also improve your score. Walking gives you a better opportunity to scan the layout of the course and consider strategy for your next shot.It is also a great way to get a little exercise. And, if you’re usually a golf cart person, you can save a lot of cash on cart rental fees. With some of the money you save, you can buy yourself a golf push cart and you won’t even have to carry your bag.
2. Don’t play from the blue tees. Unless you are at least a ten handicap or lower, why bother making the golf course more difficult than it has to be. If you’re shooting in the 90s or triple digits, making the game harder doesn’t make much sense. Take the extra level of anxiety out of the equation and play the white tees.
3. Play different games with friends. Compete in games other than score, instead of just playing the same old match with your buddies.Some examples might be most fairways hit, least amount of 3 putts, or most 1 putts.
4. If it is your honor, take it. You just birdied the hardest (or easiest) hole on the golf course, it’s your tee, take it, you earned it. Challenge yourself to get another one; you will be surprised how often you can have two birdies in a row if you are actually trying.
5. Enhance your lie.When you are playing a leisure round of golf, there is no way you should be playing the strict rules of golf. If everyone played by these rules, the average round of golf would be at least 6 hours at courses all over the world. Golfers would be looking for every lost ball for five minutes and returning to the tees all day after hitting there first ball out bounds. Since we bend them to save time, why not bend them to improve your lie, something you can actually benefit from. Play winter rules all the time.
6. Reduce your expectations. If you are an average golfer, you play golf twice per week if you’re lucky. On top of that, you don’t practice as much as you wish you could. You can’t honestly think that your game is exactly what it should be. Don’t be so hard on yourself when you are not playing well, just enjoy the game itself. Everyone has bad days, even professionals.
If you follow these few tips: play the white tees, walk with a golf push cart, give yourself a good lie, don’t play for the best score, play for the honor, and be realistic about your expectations, the game will be much more enjoyable.
A golf widow and loving it!
People often see me as a golf widow and I guess that they are right.
Over the years my husband has had his fair share of days playing golf and I suppose that makes me what is known as a golf widow.
It seems his great love of golf was apparently all my fault too!!
Years ago it was me that brought home a rather tatty looking set of golf clubs that a friends husband was chucking out. Up until then he had shown no interest in the game whatsoever, but I would often see him down at the bottom of the garden swinging these decrepit old golf clubs and probably imagining that he was Tiger Woods.
Anyway one day my brother who is a keen golfer invited him for a game of golf at our local municipal course.
There we have it. No going back, he was smitten by the game.
From then on every Christmas and birthday he always wanted a golf related present that he wanted. The golf clubs were gradually upgraded and then came the electric golf trolley. This had to be a good one which also applies to the rest of the golf gear that has been accumulated over the years. Golf equipment I’ve found is a very personal thing. Whatever brand is the most popular for one person is not necessarily the same for a fellow golfer. But once after finding their favourite maker the golfer tends to stick with the same one. In any case that seems to be my experience.
Finally, yes I am a golf widow and I like it!
It meant that I was in a position to do as I wished and not always had to be in each others pockets all the time.
I really beleive that independent hobbies are a healthy way to go and I would encourage couples to do their own thing. I have seen too many friends drive each other up the wall because they have no time to themselves.
First and foremost this golf hobby has been a great way of keeping healthy and enjoying the company and companionship of like minded people and this can only mean that my second hand gift was a brilliant idea!
