How to Prepare for a Charity Golf Tournament: Tips for Beginners

You do not need to be good at the game to play in a charity golf tournament. Try your hardest, pick up your ball and move on to the next hole if you’re not making progress, and enjoy your time with your teammates. Golf tournaments are a great way to learn from others and build your confidence on the course.

To play in a tournament, you should understand the basic fundamentals of the game, and the parts of a golf course. You should have golf attire that meets the tournament course’s dress code, and a set of clubs (yours, or borrowed) to play. Make sure you’re also familiar with how to stay safe on the golf course. In my opinion, you can learn these elements of the game within 5-6 clinics, lessons, or rounds of golf.

Staying Active Over the Winter to Improve My Golf Game

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.

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.

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

How to Save Money While Learning to Golf

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.
