7 Tips For Great Golfing Getaways 

Things I have learned over the years which can make golfing getaways great

Don't you just love golfing getaways? Now I must be honest at this point and say the while I love golfing getaways the golf is not the most significant part. Actually it is my wife who is the golfer and I am the golf widower.
When we look for golfing getaways we also look at the other ?off course? facilities to a great extent, she has her pleasure on the course and I have other hobbies. I love to read and although I do not play golf I am interested in the history of it and to try to help fund our golfing getaways by researching into golf memorabilia and old golfing books. It is not uncommon that at least one of our golfing getaways is cost free.

Always carry bug spray 

1 Always carry bug spray wherever your golfing getaways are and whatever time of year you have planned your golfing getaways - Bugs do not have timetables and are not restricted by geography they enjoy golfing getaways too. On a more serious note it pays to take particular care when off the beaten track to ensure that you do not return with a bug infestation.

"Always carry bug spray!!"

Golfing Getaways should be fun 

2. Golfing Getaways should always be fun - unless you are a professional golfer the final score is really not that important - is it? Remember my wife is the golfer.

The Ultimate Goal!

Ensure that you pack different types of clothing 

3.Ensure that you pack different types of clothing for your golfing breaks - both the weather and 'circumstances' can change. We once travelled to the south of France and were thankful that we had packed sweaters and waterproofs. On another golfing getaway while playing a course outside of London we were invited to a society wedding and were glad that we had packed formal outfits , something we did not normally do for our impromptu golfing breaks.

Wonderful Golfing Presents 

A little tip - buy your presents here and don't have to transport them from your Golfing Getaway Location

Always take earplugs on a golfing getaway 

4.If you are going with a group of guys and are sharing rooms on your golfing getaway take ear plugs. Someone will snore, probably you, and you don't want to keep yourself awake! BEsides if you are close to the airport or just above the hotel disco you may get some sleep.

Why not treat yourself to a new golf bag in readiness.

Do not over indulge 

5. Do not over indulge too early in your golfing getaways - by this I mean with food, alcohol and of course the golf. The first two will leave you feeling dreadful and spoil you game and by playing too much you could spoil you golfing getaways due to a strained back or some other type of wrist injury.

Try to vary the location 

6. Try to vary the location of your golfing getaways - especially if you have a non-golfing partner. While you and your buddies may enjoy tramping over the same ground the same hotel room and area can be a chore. A non- golfing partner will usually be very happy if they have a different location to explore previous golfing getaways. Personally I have never been one for repeated visits to holiday locations.

Make sure that you have enough equipment 

7. Always make sure that you have enough equipment for your golfing getaways - It is surprising both what can break or be damaged on golfing getaways, even if you are not the roudy types and it is likely that even the most common ball, tee, club glove or whatever will NOT be available at you resort.

A Final Tip 

This is probably the most important tip!
