Staying Active Over the Winter to Improve My Golf Game

ByKay

Even as I’m about to enter my third consecutive year as a golfer, I still consider myself to fall right in the “beginner” golfer category. I love golf, but the more I play and the more I learn about the game, the more I realize I have yet to know. I think that’s what draws me to the game – I like working on improving my game, learning from other golfers and pros, and spending time with people in the same boat. 

One thing I’ve focused on in the last year is how I can stay ‘in shape’ in support of my golf game. I’m not talking about being a certain size, or weight loss, or anything like that – I really just want to be active and healthy so I can continue to play better, and also reduce the risk of any injuries.

I remember my first round of golf like it was yesterday. I was so excited – I’d wanted to actually play a round of golf for so long. I was also really nervous – what if I made a huge mistake or looked like I didn’t know what I was doing?
You may have the same worries – what do you need to be prepared with for the first time you walk onto a course?  That’s why I put together this post – and long story short – you don’t need to know everything (or much at all!) about golf, you don’t need to spend lots of money (or any!), and if you remember these key things, you’ll be all set for your own first time on the course.

Learning How to Golf: Great Resources for Women Beginners

It can be overwhelming to get started when you’re learning to golf. On top of that, much of what is out there is aimed directly at men. What are the best resources for women learning to golf? You can start with a Google search, and find helpful resources online (hello, glad you’re here!) but where else can you find more information about learning to play, meeting other beginner golfers, and getting more comfortable on the course?
Luckily for you, there is a wealth of information out there. As I have had my own questions come up, I find that there are a few key resources I keep coming back to – books, YouTube videos, golf schools, and membership organizations.

How to Save Money While Learning to Golf

ByKay

I remember when I was still thinking about learning to golf, I thought it could be a lot of fun, but that I probably couldn’t afford it. Golf always seemed to me like something for people with more money to spend. On top of that, how would I know I’d even like it? I didn’t want to spend a lot of money to find out it wasn’t for me.
Over time, I figured out a number of ways to save money and learn the game. And while these strategies helped as I began golfing, they’ll pay off in the long term too – golf can be very expensive. Even now, I know I love to golf, but I’d still like to save where I can – stretching my golf dollars and letting me use those savings on things that are important to me, like lessons and trips to new courses.

What’s the most important thing you can do if you want to learn to play golf? Show up. Commit. Learning any new sport can be at times overwhelming and frustrating. If you can decide to set aside time to learn to golf regularly, you’ll see yourself get more comfortable and increase your skill over time. You don’t need to drop everything and devote hours each day. Many golfers start with a weekly clinic or lesson – even getting out to the driving range periodically will start to add up. As you gain more experience, and if you want to grow your game, the most important thing you can do is commit and follow through on your new hobby – it will pay off over time!
