Tips for Playing Golf on Vacation
You can see this would be a beautiful place to work on your golf game. Here’s some advice for those who bring their clubs on a beach escape.
- You needn’t go far
If you’re a Carolinian, or from neighboring states, why go far to play? Make the drive to Pawleys Island and tee it up on some of the nation’s best golf courses.
- Protect your clubs
Invest in a travel cover to keep your sticks safe. Ballistic nylon gives ultimate protection, whether you’re coming by car or airplane.
- Involve the family
Do the spouse and kids want to see a matinee while you play? Invite them to hit balls with you on the range first. Why knows? They might catch the bug.
