Boilerpipe Text
00:00 I'm here at Burley Park Golf Club and this video is all about having more fun on the golf course. 00:08 Let's face it, we're not earning a living doing this. It doesn't matter what we shoot, 00:13 this is a leisure activity. So whenever we're out here on the golf course with our friends, 00:19 we should be putting a smile on our faces and enjoying it as much as we possibly can. 00:25 These are the seven ways you can add more fun to your golf. 00:33 Number one is to do away with this little thing here, the scorecard. If you're just 00:38 looking to go out there and have a bit of fun, frankly it doesn't matter how many shots you're 00:44 taking or what score you shoot at the end of the day. It's all about being out there on the 00:49 golf 00:49 course in and amongst nature, hitting some cool golf shots, spending time with your friends and 00:55 enjoying it. That's how you should measure your day on the golf course. How much fun have you had, 01:00 how much time have you spent laughing, how many golf shots have you hit that are memorable for 01:05 all the right reasons. Let's be honest, whether you shoot 78, 84, 96, 172, it doesn't matter. 01:12 Get rid of the scorecard, forget about the numbers and have a good time. 01:19 Number two is using some different scoring and competition formats. Just because you're not 01:25 writing down your stroke play score doesn't mean you can't have a little bit of friendly rivalry 01:31 and add a bit of spice to your friendly round with your mates. Match play of course, as we know, 01:36 is a brilliant way of doing that. You can have a bad hole and it doesn't affect the rest of 01:40 your round 01:41 at all. You can do it individually and in pairs. If you do try pairs, maybe a little bit of 01:47 foursomes, 01:48 alternate shot, you'll get round a bit quicker and it just adds a different dimension to your game. 01:53 In terms of the other scoring formats, there are absolutely loads out there. Skins is a classic 01:58 where you have to win the hole outright. If you don't, it all adds up through the holes 02:03 and then the next person to win one outright takes the money or the points depending on whether 02:08 you're gambling as well. Check out a story that we've got here on the Golf Monthly website. There's 02:14 some great golf formats on there that should give you some ideas. 02:21 Number three is finding the right playing partners. It's so hard to have fun yourself if the guys you're 02:28 with are frustrated, angry or just taking it really, really seriously. If you can find someone with the 02:35 same outlook as you, who you get on with off the course as well as on it, it'll be so 02:40 much easier 02:41 for you to have fun on the course. 02:48 Someone that sees the game like you do and wants to have fun as well is always your best playing 02:54 partner. 02:57 That's good, yeah. That nearly hit like within an inch of the middle of the club head to be fair. 03:02 It was all right. I like that. I take that. I didn't think that was even possible. 03:06 Going for the firm fade into that tucked left pin. 03:14 Number four on our list is playing with a junior golfer. That can bring real lightheartedness to it. 03:21 You can see what it's like for them to just really love it, play with freedom. And that will probably 03:26 remind you what it was like when you were playing golf as a kid. Going out there for a few 03:32 holes of 03:32 a summer's evening. Anything just to be out there in and amongst nature, having fun, taking shots on. 03:38 And you can really take on a bit of a mentoring role for them as well. It can add a 03:43 totally different 03:44 dimension. So if you get the opportunity to play with any juniors at your clubs or get your children 03:50 into the game, do it. And I promise you will have way more fun with them on the golf course. 03:59 Number five is taking on the hero shot. I found myself in a bit of a predicament down the right 04:06 hand side on this par five. I'm in the trees, but I've got options. I could chip it out sideways. 04:11 I could try and advance it a little bit. Or, as Seve always said, I can see a window. I 04:19 can either fade 04:20 it or draw it round that tree, but I've got to keep it low early. If it goes wrong, that 04:24 is a card 04:25 wrecker right there. But I don't have a card, so I'm going to take it on. I'm going to make 04:29 myself a story 04:30 that I can tell my grandkids and bore my playing partners with for years to come. Because I'm going to 04:35 take on this hero shot and I'm going to nail it. So here we go. I'm taking this on and 04:43 I'm going to 04:43 make myself a hero. 04:55 I need a hero. 05:02 Number six is to only use a half set of clubs or even fewer. A three or a five club 05:09 challenge can be 05:10 a lot of fun. It forces you to take on some funky shots to get creative and maybe re-find 05:16 that love 05:17 of the artistry of golf that made you first fall in love with the game. I've just come out with 05:23 four 05:23 clubs here. I've got myself in play, but ideally I'd want a pitching wedge for this shot. I don't 05:30 have one. I've only got a sand wedge. So do I crank that or reach for the trusty seven iron 05:35 and try and 05:36 hit a little bit of a knockdown. It's not a shot I'd normally take on, but it's going to be 05:40 a lot of fun 05:41 to try and do it. 05:57 Well, I mean, I've clipped that so pure, too pure in fact. It's just through the back of the green, 06:03 but I feel good about hitting it like that. 06:09 Our seventh and final tip for how you can enjoy your golf even more is to visit and play different 06:16 and new golf courses. It's so easy to get stuck into a bit of a rut if you're a member 06:22 or you just 06:22 go to one course the whole time. Freshen things up. Try different styles of course. If you play on a 06:29 links course, go to a parkland or woodland place, vice versa as well. If you like playing long courses, 06:35 go and have a go at a par three course, just so you're doing something a little bit different. 06:40 Anything to freshen up your golf experience and that makes you see different things and hit different 06:46 shots is really going to enhance your experiences. 06:50 I hope you found this helpful and you're going to use some of these tips to make sure you have 06:55 as 06:55 much fun as possible next time you get to the golf course. If you've liked it, please give it a 07:01 thumbs 07:01 up. If we've missed out any awesome ways you can bring more fun to your golf, add them in the 07:07 comments 07:07 section below.

00:00I'm here at Burley Park Golf Club and this video is all about having more fun on the golf course. 00:08Let's face it, we're not earning a living doing this. It doesn't matter what we shoot, 00:13this is a leisure activity. So whenever we're out here on the golf course with our friends, 00:19we should be putting a smile on our faces and enjoying it as much as we possibly can. 00:25These are the seven ways you can add more fun to your golf. 00:33Number one is to do away with this little thing here, the scorecard. If you're just 00:38looking to go out there and have a bit of fun, frankly it doesn't matter how many shots you're 00:44taking or what score you shoot at the end of the day. It's all about being out there on the 00:49golf 00:49course in and amongst nature, hitting some cool golf shots, spending time with your friends and 00:55enjoying it. That's how you should measure your day on the golf course. How much fun have you had, 01:00how much time have you spent laughing, how many golf shots have you hit that are memorable for 01:05all the right reasons. Let's be honest, whether you shoot 78, 84, 96, 172, it doesn't matter. 01:12Get rid of the scorecard, forget about the numbers and have a good time. 01:19Number two is using some different scoring and competition formats. Just because you're not 01:25writing down your stroke play score doesn't mean you can't have a little bit of friendly rivalry 01:31and add a bit of spice to your friendly round with your mates. Match play of course, as we know, 01:36is a brilliant way of doing that. You can have a bad hole and it doesn't affect the rest of 01:40your round 01:41at all. You can do it individually and in pairs. If you do try pairs, maybe a little bit of 01:47foursomes, 01:48alternate shot, you'll get round a bit quicker and it just adds a different dimension to your game. 01:53In terms of the other scoring formats, there are absolutely loads out there. Skins is a classic 01:58where you have to win the hole outright. If you don't, it all adds up through the holes 02:03and then the next person to win one outright takes the money or the points depending on whether 02:08you're gambling as well. Check out a story that we've got here on the Golf Monthly website. There's 02:14some great golf formats on there that should give you some ideas. 02:21Number three is finding the right playing partners. It's so hard to have fun yourself if the guys you're 02:28with are frustrated, angry or just taking it really, really seriously. If you can find someone with the 02:35same outlook as you, who you get on with off the course as well as on it, it'll be so 02:40much easier 02:41for you to have fun on the course. 02:48Someone that sees the game like you do and wants to have fun as well is always your best playing 02:54partner. 02:57That's good, yeah. That nearly hit like within an inch of the middle of the club head to be fair. 03:02It was all right. I like that. I take that. I didn't think that was even possible. 03:06Going for the firm fade into that tucked left pin. 03:14Number four on our list is playing with a junior golfer. That can bring real lightheartedness to it. 03:21You can see what it's like for them to just really love it, play with freedom. And that will probably 03:26remind you what it was like when you were playing golf as a kid. Going out there for a few 03:32holes of 03:32a summer's evening. Anything just to be out there in and amongst nature, having fun, taking shots on. 03:38And you can really take on a bit of a mentoring role for them as well. It can add a 03:43totally different 03:44dimension. So if you get the opportunity to play with any juniors at your clubs or get your children 03:50into the game, do it. And I promise you will have way more fun with them on the golf course. 03:59Number five is taking on the hero shot. I found myself in a bit of a predicament down the right 04:06hand side on this par five. I'm in the trees, but I've got options. I could chip it out sideways. 04:11I could try and advance it a little bit. Or, as Seve always said, I can see a window. I 04:19can either fade 04:20it or draw it round that tree, but I've got to keep it low early. If it goes wrong, that 04:24is a card 04:25wrecker right there. But I don't have a card, so I'm going to take it on. I'm going to make 04:29myself a story 04:30that I can tell my grandkids and bore my playing partners with for years to come. Because I'm going to 04:35take on this hero shot and I'm going to nail it. So here we go. I'm taking this on and 04:43I'm going to 04:43make myself a hero. 04:55I need a hero. 05:02Number six is to only use a half set of clubs or even fewer. A three or a five club 05:09challenge can be 05:10a lot of fun. It forces you to take on some funky shots to get creative and maybe re-find 05:16that love 05:17of the artistry of golf that made you first fall in love with the game. I've just come out with 05:23four 05:23clubs here. I've got myself in play, but ideally I'd want a pitching wedge for this shot. I don't 05:30have one. I've only got a sand wedge. So do I crank that or reach for the trusty seven iron 05:35and try and 05:36hit a little bit of a knockdown. It's not a shot I'd normally take on, but it's going to be 05:40a lot of fun 05:41to try and do it. 05:57Well, I mean, I've clipped that so pure, too pure in fact. It's just through the back of the green, 06:03but I feel good about hitting it like that. 06:09Our seventh and final tip for how you can enjoy your golf even more is to visit and play different 06:16and new golf courses. It's so easy to get stuck into a bit of a rut if you're a member 06:22or you just 06:22go to one course the whole time. Freshen things up. Try different styles of course. If you play on a 06:29links course, go to a parkland or woodland place, vice versa as well. If you like playing long courses, 06:35go and have a go at a par three course, just so you're doing something a little bit different. 06:40Anything to freshen up your golf experience and that makes you see different things and hit different 06:46shots is really going to enhance your experiences. 06:50I hope you found this helpful and you're going to use some of these tips to make sure you have 06:55as 06:55much fun as possible next time you get to the golf course.
