5 Fun Tips to Improve Your Golf Game (and Fuel Up on the 7th Hole!)
Golf is an incredible mix of technique, focus, and the sheer joy of watching a tiny ball sail toward a flag. If you're looking to level up your game while having fun, we’ve got some quirky tips to help you improve. Plus, there's a cheeky little app that will have food waiting for you right on the course by the 7th hole—because we all know golf is more fun when you're not hangry!
1. Play Like You’re in a Movie Montage
Every great sports movie has that epic training montage, right? Next time you’re on the course, channel your inner Rocky or Happy Gilmore. Create a playlist of songs that make you feel like a champion and sync your swings with the rhythm. Trust me, it’s way more fun to practice with a soundtrack—and you’ll naturally fall into a smooth tempo.
Pro tip: Try adding a little air-guitar swing between shots. You’ll loosen up, have a laugh, and maybe even find your groove!
2. Grip It, But Don’t Rip It
Here’s a fun challenge: imagine your golf club is a cute, fluffy puppy. You wouldn’t squeeze it too hard, right? When you grip the club, hold it with enough pressure to feel secure, but pretend any extra squeeze might make the puppy yelp. This will keep your hands relaxed and flexible, allowing you to swing with more finesse and less tension.
Pro tip: On your next tee-off, whisper “good boy” to your club. It may not help your game, but it’ll definitely lighten the mood!
3. Channel Your Inner Zen Master
Golf isn’t just a game; it’s a zen exercise in disguise. Between shots, take a second to become one with the course. Smell the grass, feel the wind, and if the moment feels right, go full “karate kid” and crane-kick the air for no reason. Keeping your mind light helps avoid overthinking your swing, and a playful attitude often leads to better results.
Pro tip: Treat bad shots like bubbles. Imagine them floating away on the wind. Pop them, laugh, and focus on your next amazing shot.
4. The Secret Snack Attack
Golf is hungry work, and the right fuel can be your secret weapon. But instead of worrying about when to head back to the clubhouse, why not bring the food to you? Use the 7th Hole app to order snacks right to the green. Picture this: you sink a birdie, and then, boom—your favorite sandwich shows up just in time to celebrate! It’s not only practical, it’s an instant mood booster.
Pro tip: Try ordering something quirky, like a fancy smoothie or surprise snack, to mix up your food game. The energy boost will keep you swinging strong through the back nine.
5. Create Your Own Trick Shots
Golf isn’t just about playing well—it’s about having fun. Next time you’re at the driving range or practice green, invent your own trick shots. How about the "no-look putt"? Or the "between-the-legs swing"? Sure, you’ll probably miss at first, but each attempt will give you a better feel for your club and improve your confidence.
Pro tip: The more absurd the trick shot, the better. Not only will you have a blast, but you might discover a hidden talent along the way. And hey, if all else fails, at least you’ve got snacks arriving on the 7th hole!
