Before a round of Golf

May 18, 2007 | under Golf Game |

The weather is great today and you are ready for a good day at the golf course.  Before heading out to the course, it is important to go through a checklist of items you will need to ensure an enjoyable round.  Not being prepared for a round sometimes can really ruin a day on the golf course. 

Before leaving your home, it is important to check the latest weather conditions so you can dress appropriately and bring any necessary items to deal with adverse conditions.   You should wear something that is comfortable and is also suitable for the weather.

On a day that conditions are forecasted to be clear and comfortable, it is appropriate to wear a cotton polo and cotton knit pants.  Some players may choose to wear walking shorts if they are allowed by the golf club.  Some sort of hat is always recommended to protect the player’s head from the sun, and golfers should always wear sunscreen.  On a day when rain is anticipated, an umbrella and rain suit is desirable.

A golfer’s bag should be equipped with certain necessities, besides the clubs and balls that may make the day more comfortable.  Make sure you have enough balls to last you through the rounds.  And tees, of course.  Do you need a towel for yourself to wipe off sweat ?  Is there a golf towel to clean your hands and clubs with ? If you need the towels, then make sure it is in the bag.

Water is a must in any round of golf especially one during a hot day.  Water will keep you hydrated throughout your game.  So, remember to bring beverages along to your game.  Also snacks if required.

Now that you have the things you need for the game, let’s head down to the golf club.  It is recommended that you arrive at least one hour prior to the start of your round to prepare and practice. 

Most golfers spend 20-30 minutes hitting golf balls before their round.  It is recommended that after stretching your muscles, you hit 5-8 shots with each club, beginning with the pitching wedge and working up to the driver.  This should help you get a good feel of the clubs and also stretching your muscles.  After hitting a bucket of balls, you should move to the practice green to work on your putting.  Take three balls and practice work on three identical putts from various spots on the practice green.  This will provide a feel of how the green is like for the course.

Ten minutes before your scheduled tee time, check to see if you want to take a fresh drink onto the course, and you may want to go to the bathroom.  Upon arrival to the first tee, you will normally need to check in with the course starter, who will cue your group in line to begin.  

While waiting, you can place a few tees in your pocket, a ball or two, and some sort of ball marker for use on the greens.  Then relax, till your turn to tee off. 

So now… Enjoy your round of golf.
