Golf is notoriously one of the most frustrating sports on the planet. Too many of us have dads who have given up the pursuit of improvement to only joke and wallow at their inability to ever lower their scores. Those of us who are growing into our middle-aged years and who might want to improve our games a bit to enjoy those greens and fairways all the more might want to consider any of these helpful tips. 

1. Study Golf On Social Media 

This might seem so counterintuitive. Golf is a game that's beloved because it takes place outside in the fresh air and sunshine.

A lesson online doesn't have the atmospheric benefits of taking one in person. Plus, with such a physical game, how can you get adjustments and corrections that an in-person coach might be able to offer you? 

These are all fair points if your argument is against only learning golf on social media. You absolutely need to practice and glean tips from folks in-person, but the internet gives you access to literally a world of knowledge, and a lot of the people making this content are actual professionals and coaches.

Just scrolling through golf Instagram accounts, you can come across videos that might break down how to approach an approach, how to line up your putts, and how to control the flight path of your drive.

2. Practice at Home

This might sound like a no-brainer, or even a chore that you don't want to associate with the leisurely nature of golf. At the same time, practice doesn't have to be boring. Just like out on the course, heading out to the backyard to take some swings or practice your chips can be accompanied by a tasty beverage and serve as a welcome breather from a hectic household.

3. Get Your Swag On 

Your golf game doesn't only relate to your handicap. For a lot of people, golf is more about socializing and even geeking out on fun new products and outfits. If you love to dress up, then upping your swag is essential to improving your golf game. While it might not have much of an influence on your swing, it will make the day more fun and help you feel like the golfer you want to be. 

Also, clothes aren't the only form of swag in the golf game. When looking at ways to improve your game, consider some helpful gadgets that might make the day more fun or easier on the body. More and more popular on courses today, remote-control bag "push" carts and laser GPS range finders can be found at golf stores and on sports websites all over. 

It's never too late to shave a few strokes off your golf game or pick up a new piece of swag that will make you feel better about yourself. Start working on some of these tips to improve your golf game while summer is still here and you can get on the course for real!
