In Honor of National Golf Month we are sharing 18 ways to celebrate Golf during the month of August
1. Hit The Range: You're in for a long month. Get to the driving range and work out those kinks.
2. Plan A Trip: There is nothing better than a golf trip with your buddies to the Sandhills.
3. Get a USGA handicap: Why not get into a little competitive golf? You'll need an index through your club or state association.
4. Play for Something: Give yourself a little pressure by putting something on the line (we suggest drinks or lunch at the In The Rough Lounge or Pop's Lounge.)
5. Take a Lesson: We have some fabulous PGA teaching professionals here at Pine Needles and Mid Pines, take advantage of their knowledge!
6. Play a Par-3 Course: You can really improve your skills by only focusing on wedges and mid-irons for a day.
7. Play with your kids: Nothing is better than watching your kids learn something new. Teach them the rules of golf while having a little fun. Hey, they may even want to join Youth Golfari next summer!
8. Splurge a little: Get out and spend a little extra and treat yourself to a new course. Nothing keeps your game fresh like a little change.
9. Get the First Tee Time: The ambiance of Pine Needles and Mid Pines right at sunrise is breathtaking. Take it all in while others are sleeping their mornings away.
10. Play in a Charity Golf Tournament: There's no greater feeling than giving back to a worthy cause, while having fun!
11. Play 36 holes: After you get that first tee time have an early lunch and get back out there. You';ll get your second wind somewhere around the 22nd hole.
12. Walk: We know the North Carolina heat doesn't always warrant walking, but sometimes you get that perfect early fall weather right at the end of August. Take advantage of it.
13. Enhance Your Wardrobe: Treat yourself to some new golf apparel. You'll have so many golf outings this month, so don't get caught wearing that lucky shirt three times. Get yourself a new lucky shirt!
14. Play It Safe: Are you normally wild off the tee? Slow things down a bit and see how it impacts your game.
15. Tech Up: Download the Pine Needles-Mid Pines App to get all of our exclusive deals and be the first to hear all of the news. It's free!
16. Keep Stats: Your score isn't all that matters. Keep track of how many fairways and greens you hit.
17. Make a Bucket List: Put a golf course bucket list together. There's no shame in dreaming of Top 100 courses.
18. Clean Your Clubs: It's been a long month and those clubs have been overworked. Take care of them with a brush tool and water.
