Four Reasons You Need to Play Golf this Summer
Golf is one of the oldest and most enjoyed games; whether playing our Links style course or just playing a round on any course this summer, we outlined four great reasons to get out on the greens this summer.
1. Exercise: Playing golf can be excellent exercise, especially if you forgo the cart and walk. Depending on the course, walking eight or nine holes can hardly feel like exercise when you are having fun. Pine Ridge is perfect
for this.
2. Friendship/Camaraderie: Many friendships grow and expand on the golf course even though it’s not a typical team player game. From congratulating a player on their impressive swing to offering kind words of advice, there are plenty of opportunities for players to bond out on the course. Some golfers experience a camaraderie that extends beyond the golf course and into other social situations, like sharing highlights of the round at the restaurant next door.
3. Challenge: Golf offers different challenges each time you play, whether you are at the same course or a different one. Each hole on the course is about a new challenge and improving your technique to play it well. You can also challenge yourself by using different equipment like at our Scottish Links Golf Course where you use 100-year-old hickory shaft clubs and special golf balls that travel 60% of the distance of regular golf balls.
4. Character: Any sport builds character, but during the process of the golf game it provides a chance to be introspective. Learning how to cope with frustration, patience, and slowing down are traits learned on the golf course and helps build your character.
No matter the reason you decide to play golf this summer, you’ll be sure to have a wonderful time at Pine Ridge and we invite you to learn more about our unique golf course so you can make the most of your time this summer.

5 Reasons to Join a Golf League
Have you been considering joining a golf league? Have you been hesitant because you are a beginner or high handicap golfer? Actually playing in a golf league is a great way to improve your game. Here’s five reasons why you should join a golf league!
1. A golf league is fun!
Sometimes we need to remember that golf is a game and is to be enjoyed. You’ll meet and get to know many other golfers through the duration of the league. You’ll get to play other two-person teams out on the course and socialize with the entire league at the 19th hole afterward. A golf league is a great way to network for both friendships and business connections.
2. You are able to compete on an even playing field.
Golf allows you to establish a handicap which is applied against whatever course you are playing on. Your opponent also has a handicap. Depending on the difference in handicaps, you will either receive or give strokes for the round. What holes you give or receive the strokes on depends on the handicap rating of each hole. Generally the more difficult holes are the ones with the lowest handicap rating and the ones where you will give or receive strokes. Handicaps allow golfers of all skill levels to compete against one another.
3. Friendly competition drives you to improve your game.
It’s human nature that none of us like to lose. The desire to golf well in league will produce more focused practice sessions. I’m not saying you necessarily need to be the best golfer in your league but you will feel the desire to improve your play in your league. Many golf leagues recognize the most improved player for the season so you may be rewarded for your efforts!
4. You have a weekly scheduled time to golf.
We all live busy lives. Sometimes finding time to golf is challenging. By committing to play in a league, you are insuring you will golf at least once a week. Additional practice time on the range is very important, but just as important is golfing on a consistent basis. Your swing is just part of your golf game. Only on the course will you get the valuable experience in course management needed to improve your game.
5. Learn from golfing with better players.
As a beginner or high handicap golfer, partner with someone who is slightly better than you are, maybe someone who is close to or already shooting 90. Golfing with better golfers will help you improve your game by watching how they manage their way around the course. The key is to find someone to golf with who is better than you but not so much better that you are intimidated playing with them.
