Golf is on the upswing and with good reason. Golf's inherent social distancing and outdoor setting make it a safer activity than many others. Plus, golf is truly a game that (almost) everyone can play. It is a sport for all ages and all levels of ability. It doesn’t matter if you are particularly tall or strong, all body types can succeed. Even a lack of flexibility or athleticism can be counteracted with savvy and skill around the greens. 

 

No Whiffs, Ands or Putts About It… 

 

  • ​Golf is time well spent with family and friends.

  • It is the perfect blend of social (distanced) interaction and exercise. 

  • It is challenging, yet fun and entertaining.

  • There is usually no shortage of one-liners and fun. Golf has the ability to fill days with great laughter and decades with cherished memories. 

  • No one is immune from embarrassment, and there is something about golf’s humbling nature that brings everyone together. (As long as you can handle the humiliation of whiffing - as in swinging and completely missing the ball.)

 All that said, if you are: a) an avid golfer or b) have good hand-eye coordination and/or c) can handle embarrassing shots, why not include golf in your next staycation? With millennials valuing experiences over things, young people and old alike can agree on a golf trip.

Perfect Pairings

 

Let the Good Times Roll with Your Buddies


Undoubtedly, one of a golfer's favorite events of his golfing career is a golf trip with his buddies - laughing at each other’s game and spouting quotable lines from Caddyshack. Wildlife, yes, but don’t count on dancing gophers, unless you frequent the bar cart VERY frequently.
