5 Steps To Enjoy Golf More

We all love the game of golf, but some times it is just as they say, a good walk spoiled.Here are a few ways to enjoy golf more.

• Do play except 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.Plays the white tees and takes the extra level of anxiety out of the equation. 

• Improve your lie

There is no way you should be playing the strict rules of golf, when you are having a recreational round of golf. The average round of golf would be at least six 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 time.

• Do play different game

Compete in other categories other than score, instead playing the same match with your buddies.  Some examples would be:

Most fairways hit

Least amount of 3 putts

Most 1 putts

• If it is your honor, take it.

You just birdie the hardest (or easiest) hole on the golf course, it is your tee, you earned it, took it. 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, challenge yourself to get another one.

• Lower of expectation.

You don't practice as much as you should, if you are a average golfer you play golf twice per week if you're lucky, on top of that.. You can not honestly think that your game is not exactly what it would be. 

Don't be so hard on yourself when you're not playing well, just enjoy the game itself. Even the pros have not good days.
