- Exploring new courses. As you gain more experience in golf, it is likely that you will come to love the experience of playing new courses. At first, when you are just getting started, you’ll probably play the same course over and over again – and that’s just fine. Once you build your skills, however, it will be fun to explore new courses and test yourself against the challenge they present. Playing a new course requires you to think critically about your strategy, as you’ll be encountering holes you’ve never seen before. If you’d like to test yourself in this way, look around your local area and see if you can find any courses that you’d like to experience for yourself.
- Travelling to play golf. This point goes right along with the previous point, as it will involve playing new courses. However, in this case, you are going to travel to play new courses, rather than just playing those in your local area. If you decide to take a golf trip, you’ll have the chance to check out great courses in beautiful places. Many golfers find that taking golf trips becomes one of their favorite things about playing the game.
- Making great memories. Golfers, in general, tend to have great memories. Well, at least, they tend to remember some of the great shots they have hit over the years. If you are already a golfer, you can probably think about a couple of the great shots you’ve hit on the course, even if those shots took place years ago. It is fun to go through the process of making these memories, and it might even be more fun to look back on them and tell the stories for years to come. Whether it is a great individual shot or an excellent round of golf, creating memories on the links just may be one of the top reasons to play golf.

In the end, golf is a pretty easy sell. Sure, there are some drawbacks to this game, but that can be said about pretty much any hobby. If you are like most other golfers, you’ll find that the enjoyment you get from this game far outweighs any frustration that comes from the drawbacks. We hope this article has helped you to think about what you like about this game, and perhaps you’d realized that there are even more ways you’ll be able to enjoy golf moving forward.
