5 TIPS TO HELP YOU ENJOY GOLF MORE
by Robert Livesay
We all love the game of golf, but some times you can get too involved in the technicalities of the game. Here are a few ways to enjoy golf more.
1 Improve your lie When you are enjoying a recreational round of golf, you should not be playing the strict rules of golf. The average round of golf takes at least 6 hours at courses any where in the world. Golfers would be returning to the tees all day after hitting their first ball out of bounds, or searching for every lost ball for 5 minutes. So if we are bending the rules to save time, why not bend them to improve your lie, something you can actually benefit from. Play winter rules all the time.
2 Don’t play the blue tees. Unless you are at least a 10 handicap or lower, why bother making the golf course even harder than it has to be. If you are shooting in the 90′s or triple digits, it makes no sense making a conscious decision to making the course more difficult. Play the white tees and take the extra level of anxiety out of the equation.
3. Play different games Instead playing the same match with your buddies, compete in other categories other than score. Some examples would be: Most fairways hit Least amount of 3 putts 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, you earned it, take it. Challenge yourself to get another one; you will be surprised how often you can have two birdies in a row if that is actually your aim.
5 Lower your expectations. The average golfer plays golf twice a week if their lucky, on top of that, you don’t practice as much as you should.. You can’t honestly think that your game is up to par under those conditions. Just enjoy the game itself, don’t be so hard on yourself when you’re not playing well. Even the pros have bad days.
