How To Play A Faster Game Of Golf

By Rosendo Schehr

Because an 18-hole round of golf can last five to six hours, taking a whole day out of a busy schedule, many golfers get frustrated and are looking for tips to help them speed up their game.

If this is one of your frustrations, there are some solutions to the problem.

The first thing you need to find out is what is taking your golf game so long. Is it you? Are you taking too many practice swings? Are your spending too much time looking for lost balls? Or are you taking too long to putt?

If you have any of the slow habits above you might need to overcome them by golf tips, golf putting tips and golf practice tips.

Let's take a look at some tips that I've found useful in helping me play a game that is not only less time consuming, but more enjoyable as well.

Locate an exclusive country club that is rarely crowded and join.

Playing a course that allows five-somes will definitely slow down your game, so don't play them.

Try to play during the week if you have a flexible schedule.

See what the golf schedule is so that you can be one of the first players out on the course, even it means have a tee time in the wee hours of the morning.

If you live in a metropolitan area, you might have to drive an hour out of town to find a less crowded course. It could be very well worth the drive with your friends.

Remember these golf tips if you want to play a more enjoyable game of golf and not have to wait 10 or 15 minutes on every hole because of slow play.

One reason that many people don't play golf is because it can take up so much time. A leisurely enjoyable game of golf shouldn't take much over 4 hours for 18 holes so remember these tips and you'll be able to play a lot more golf a lot faster.
