This post is mainly for a competitive golfer and is extremely important for managing your golf schedule and the tournaments you wish to play in. There are many things to think about whilst actually trying to concentrate on your game. It’s important you set your schedule up right and outline your dates so you know when you should be practicing before a competition. You don’t want to overdo it so leaving rest days in the period before a competition is essential.
Choosing what Competitions
If you’re raring to go and start playing competition golf, a common mistake is to throw yourself at everything! Don’t be tempted to play golf competitions at your club, 36 holes at an open and then the same again for weeks on end, you’ll simply burn yourself out. Choose what are the most important to you and base your decisions on other priorities and also money! Nothing’s cheap, especially golf competition fee’s added up.
Send Early
It’s important when you’re preparing, and that’s making sure you get your application forms off very quickly! Make sure you don’t have to phone up for late entries as this really puts pressure on preparing your game and being ready.
Handicap Certificate
A common mistake is forgetting your handicap certificate! Many competition organisers require this to confirm your handicap just in case you say you’re off 20 and you’re actually off 2! There’s quite a difference there.
All I can say is, I wish you the best of luck!
