All of us love the game of golf, but sometimes it's like they say, a good walk spoiled. Here are some ways to enjoy golf more.
1, Do not hit the blue Tees.
Unless you are at least 10 handicap or less, why make it harder than it
has to be the stadium yes. 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.
2 Improve your lie
When you are having a recreational round of golf, there is no way you
should be playing the strict rules of golf. The average round of golf
would be at least 6 hours at courses all over the world. Golfers would
be returning to the tees all day after hitting there first ball out
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.
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 birdie 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 you are actually trying to get two birdies in a row.
5 Lower your expectations.
If you are a average golfer you play golf twice per week if you're
lucky, on top of that, you don't practice as much as you should.. You
can't honestly think that your game is not exactly what it should be.
Just enjoy the game itself, don't be so hard on yourself when you're
not playing well. Even the pros have bad days.
