One of the (very few) perks of the global pandemic is my new found exploration of the great outdoors. So many things have closed and I had to get creative on what to do in the outside world and still keep myself and my family safe.
Fore!
Being a native Floridian, golf has always been a thing. We have some of the best courses around. I took a couple lessons when I was in middle school but never picked up a club since. Until NOW! A local golf course started a beginner program with lessons, golfing with a pro and a ladies league.
I started with hitting some golf balls on the driving range. Less pressure than going straight into a game. The instructors give really great tips and really want to help you improve your swing and your game. Once I got comfortable, I went to one of the evening ladies league events. 9 holes of golf, a drink ticket and a chance to win some great prizes!
Products
UnderArmour golf shoes. Getting golf shoes that will dig into the grass will prevent you from slipping or hurting yourself.
Collared shirts. Some golf courses will require a collar on your shirt, here is a dry fit option I really like.
Golf skirt. I love the look of pairing the collared shirt with a cute skirt. Golf skirts have spandex shorts attached underneath so you do not need to worry about wind.
Tees. You will need tees to lift your ball up when you do to drive your first shot at each hole.
Golf balls. I like to get a colored golf ball so it is easy to find after I hit it and I’ll always know which one is mine if playing with others.
Golf glove. Having a golf glove helps grip the club. Remember the glove goes on your non dominate hand. There is also a cushion on the palm for comfort.
