Tips For a Day of Golf
- Sunscreen is an important piece of equipment to remember when golfing, especially on a sunny day in Maui. Regular sunscreen is sometimes not enough to prevent a burn or even skin damage when outside unprotected for hours at a time, so come prepared with a hat and glasses; even your eyes need protecting!
- Make sure you are well versed in golf etiquette before you step out onto the green. There are some simple but important rules that seasoned golfers consider second nature, but for beginners could come as a surprise. You won't want to offend your fellow players so ask the pro shop for a list of course rules and even their dress code.
- Golf lessons can make your special game at one of Maui's best courses that much more memorable. You will want to play your best, so take some time to improve your skills or learn some tricks from pros that have been playing the courses on this island for years.
- Research the course you will be playing ahead of time. Read up on the different holes and you might even find some pro tips from course designers and championship winners who have frequented the courses. You will still enjoy the game and you won't be surprised by that nasty sand trap!
