Three Simple Strategies to Help Beginner Golfers Successfully Get Onto The Course

The Smart Golfer Podcast

Are you a new or early-stage golfer who’s been out hitting golf balls but find herself everywhere EXCEPT on the golf course because you’ve fallen prey to the limiting belief that the fairways are only for ‘good’ golfers?

If this sounds like you, then keep watching because this episode is just for you! I’m going to empower and share with you three simple, specific, and stress-free ways that all golfers - particularly new and beginning golfers - can get out there feeling comfortable and confident on the golf course.
Even as beginners, it’s important to get out onto the golf course because that’s really where we learn to play golf versus just hitting balls. So in this episode, let’s dive into three surefire strategies to help you get on the course - even if you’re new to the game!
1. Short Courses: Executive & Par-3
These types of courses can be found in lots of places (including more densely populated areas) and they’re great because they allow us golfers to fit in more frequent rounds of golf due to convenient locations and shorter length.
2. DIY Course Length
Sometimes, an executive or par-3 course is not available. Instead of teeing up from the prescribed teeing areas for each hole, you create your own, that is do-it-yourself (DIY)! Simply select a distance to the hole that is challenging but not overwhelming, and make that your starting point for each hole.

3. The Scramble Format
Thanks to its versatility, the scramble format is suitable for golfers of all levels of skill and experience. For this reason, it’s one of the most popular playing formats for corporate events, fundraiser outings, and tournaments. But you don't have to wait for a special event to try it out!

Get on the waitlist and be the FIRST to know when we reopen. You'll get strategies, tools, and support from our friendly community to make your dreams of confidently playing fun, strategic golf anywhere with anyone come true.
