National Golf Month: 5 Ways to Celebrate

August is National Golf Month! Here are some of our favorite ways to celebrate.

Go Golfing, Obviously

Okay, this is an obvious one, but what better time than National Golf Month to dedicate some quality time to getting out on the golf course? Set aside some extra time this month to play golf and really take note of what it is you enjoy about the game. Is it the beauty of the course, the exercise, the camaraderie with other golfers, something else? Golf has a lot to offer, and it’s a good idea to slow down now and then to really savor it.

 Clean Your Golf Clubs

When’s the last time you gave your golf clubs a thorough cleaning? It’s easy to put this task off over and over again, but we promise you’ll feel better and play better if you give your clubs a thorough wash. Head on over to this post for instructions on the right way to clean your golf gear and give your clubs some love.

 Commit to Improving Your Game

Make a commitment this month to start something new that will improve your golf game. This could look like taking golf lessons, sticking to a structured practice regimen, or working on perfecting one aspect of your game that you don’t normally pay much attention to. Choose something that makes sense for you and commit to it—you’ll start to see results before you know it. Check out our archive of golf tips to get you started.

 Take a Newbie Golfing

Share your love of golf by taking someone who’s never tried golf before out on the course and show them the basics. Whether it’s a friend, spouse, or your child, showing someone who’s brand new at it what golf has to offer is a ton of fun. And who knows, maybe the person you take to the course will catch the bug and you’ll have a new regular golfing buddy.

 Treat Yourself to Some New Gear

Have you been eyeing some new golf clubs, bag, or other golf gear for awhile now? National Golf Month seems like the perfect excuse to finally treat yourself to that new stuff you’ve been wanting. And, hey, it makes it that much easier to rationalize the expense of new golf gear if you’re saving a bundle on used golf balls! We’ll hook you up.
