Five Golf Hacks to Spend More Time on the Golf Course

Golf enthusiasts who long to further enhance their skills would probably want to spend as much time on a golf course as they can. Unfortunately, busy schedules and other life obligations can get in the way. Moreover, it is often too easy to set aside time for leisure in favor of other more important things that need to be done. However, if you keep on waiting for a time when your calendar is fully free, you may end up hardly golfing at all. So if you are really passionate about golf, it is best to make a conscious effort to book a tee time. As they say: If there is a will, there is a way. Thus, a hectic schedule should not be an excuse for not allotting time to do what you enjoy. Here are ten tips to spend more time on a golf course:

Make it a family affair.

You may start to feel guilty about your golf escapades if it is robbing quality time with your dearest loved ones. The easiest way to avoid the guilt and still make an ace in the hole is by involving your family into it. Instead of going to the golf course by yourself, invite your spouse and your kids as well. You will nurture a close bond with your family and also introduce a sport that has many health benefits.

Be an early riser. 

As a slow pace game, golf becomes an even more challenging sport for busy individuals. One way to make golf less time-consuming is by booking a tee time in the morning. This is because the first tee times scheduled for the day usually have the shortest pace of play. So if you wish to use your clubs and balls often, you may want to make it a habit to wake up early. It seems like the saying, “the early bird catches the worm” is applicable in golf. 

Choose a par-3 course.

Another tip to be able to play a round of golf even with limited time available is by choosing a par-3 course. As the shortest holes on a course,  players are supposed to finish a hole with just three strokes. This means that you can also expect a quicker pace of play. As a bonus, par-3 courses may even come at a cheaper rate.

Be ready with your golf gear.

We sometimes get unexpected breaks and opportunities in a day. Your boss may suddenly assign you to visit a place that will allow you to finish work earlier than usual. Or your superior may generously allow employees to have some time off work. To be able to turn your extra time to golfing time, it pays to always be ready with the necessary golf equipment. One way to do this is by keeping your clubs, shoes, irons, and other essentials in your car.

Combine golf with other activities.  

Golf is a flexible sport that you can easily combine with other activities. You can hit two birds with one stone by playing while ticking some items on your to-do list as well. As an example, you can have your fill of golf and fulfill altruistic deeds by signing up for a tournament intended for charity. It is also a good idea to sign up for lessons so you can practice your moves and enjoy your favorite sport. A lesson also forces you to schedule dedicated time on your calendar. You can also use a round as your exercise time as well. For entrepreneurs and professionals, golf is also a good idea to network and promote services. 

For your own wellbeing and happiness, it is a must to dedicate time for relaxation. So go ahead and start planning that Phoenix golf getaway you have been dreaming about.
