How To Have Fun While Playing Golf

Not all who play golf have fun equally, and it’s true that some golfers have discovered the secret to being happier while on a golf course, while others leave feeling frustrated or just a little shortchanged. Here are great reminders that golfers of all ages and skill levels can learn from. After all, the best golfer out there is the one having the most fun!

#1 – Play golf with people you like.

The guaranteed way to enjoy a good game of golf is to go with people you like, and people who like you too. Nothing dampens the spirit faster than feeling out of place with a crowd. So round up your best buds, gather your clubs, and have a blast in the golf course.

#2 – Stop thinking about your score.

We all go through score-anxiety at least once in our golfing lives. Nothing good ever comes out of this pessimistic approach to golf. Not only are you overestimating the value of numerical approximations, you are also losing energy and focus to senseless worrying. So what if someone’s score is higher than yours? If you enter a game with low expectations, you might end up pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

#3 – Don’t be too serious.

Sure, everyone always looks so serious when they’re playing golf, but that’s because all golfers should possess the discipline and focus to keep their head in the game. However, allow yourself the space to let loose once in a while. You can shout, throw your hands up, jump around! If your balls lands inside a pond, go crazy! Let those emotions surge inside you. It’s all part of the game.

#4 – Don’t try to impress others so much.

If you’re constantly looking over your shoulder to try and check if someone’s watching you take that swing, then you’re missing the point of golf. We play golf in order to instill in us discipline, stamina and finesse—fine qualities that can stand alone without the need for social validation.

#5 – Wine, dine, be merry!

All golf events are social events. You will never run out of charity functions, corporate outings, social scrambles, best ball events, and awards nights to attend. You better watch your calendar because it will soon fill up with numerous occasions to just sit back, relax, and drink good wine. Some people say only half of golf takes place on the golf course, while the other half is spent reminiscing at these social events. So listen to other golfers’ stories and don’t be shy to share some of your own. Not only will you pick up a couple of useful tips and techniques to improve your game, you will also meet potential golfing buddies for future sessions.

#6 – Get recognized. Bring home a trophy!

If you’re already getting the hang of the game, and if you’ve gained enough confidence to match your skills, you should join local golf tournaments or competitions of that sort. You don’t have to be very serious about it; the point is to show your unwavering support to the golfing community that you belong in. And the best part is, you might bring home a trophy! Nothing serves as a better reminder of a spectacular day in your life than a shining award with your name on it. It’s something your friends and family will want to see on the top shelf when they come visit.
