Five Ways to Make Golf More Enjoyable

Anyone who has golfed knows how addictive this sport can become. Unfortunately for many of us golfers we lose sight of the fact we are supposed to be having fun. So to refresh your memories in this regard here are a few suggestions to lighten up and make golf more enjoyable again.

Stay away from the blue tees

If you are the average weekend hacker and your handicap is above ten then why stress your game by playing off the blue tees. Now if you feel you get more strokes for your money this way then have at it. But if you are the golfer who gets out once a week or less don't put the added stress on a game that is already difficult to master. This will allow you to relax more and enjoy the day.

Improve your lie

Most golf courses adhere to strict playing times on weekends, unless of course you are playing private courses. Because of this the recreational golfer needs to exercise some common sense to keep play going. So it becomes necessary to occasionally be remiss when it comes to the rules. Give yourself a few minutes to locate a lost ball and then just drop another one if you can't find it. If your tee shot goes out of bounds don't hit another tee shot. Drop a ball near the area you went out of bounds. This keeps the rangers off your back and gets you off the course in less the 5 hours. If we are doing a little rule bending improving your lie here and there will also shave time and strokes.

Side Bets

This does not have to include money. Maybe the losers have to by a beer and a sandwich for the winner. This adds another fun element to your round of golf. Just make a list of items to compete in. Here are some ideas:

Most drives in fairway

Most green in regulation

Least putts hit

Least hazards hit

Don't worry about who has the honor on the tee box

If you have earned the honor go ahead and tee off first. But if you happen to be at the ball washer or you are not sure what club to hit, let one of your golf buddies tee off. This will keep the play at a brisk pace. Of course on the weekends you are most often waiting for the players in front of you before you can tee off.

Don't have unrealistic expectations

Most of are just normal weekend hackers who at the most may golf a couple of times in a week and has no time to practice. We all have aspirations to play better, but in reality have little time to practice on the golfing drills and tips that will actually improve our games. So don't get down on yourself for having a bad day on the course. This is a crazy game and no matter your skill level you can be a victim of the golf gods. Use these 5 tips to make golf more enjoyable this golf season.
