Whether it’s a 9-hole afternoon or a full 18-hole escapade, preparation reflects character. Here’s how to plan with polish:
“The game begins before the swing.”
Day Before:
- Clean clubs (especially wedges & putter)
- Check glove, tees, balls (no dirty or damaged gear)
- Confirm tee time and partner(s)
- Check the weather (pack light layers if needed)
In the Bag:
- 2 gloves (in case of wear or moisture)
- 1 clean towel
- 3-5 balls in mint condition
- Sunscreen, lip balm
- Water bottle (500ml min)
- Energy bar or dried fruit
- Small notebook + pencil (for notes or scores)
On the Course:
- Arrive 30 mins before tee
- Roll a few putts with quiet focus
- Visualize 1st shot without forcing
- Practice etiquette: light jokes, light steps, light grip
