Why walking is the best way to enjoy a quick 9 holes
Promotional Feature
Whether it's an evening stroll, or a short loop, there is something incredibly satisfying about getting the clubs on your trolley and forgetting all about time.
Playing golf doesn’t automatically mean playing 18 holes – far from it in this day and age.
Shorter forms of the game are found to be far more enjoyable by thousands of people. There are stark trends in the popularity of driving ranges and formats of golf that don’t involve tee boxes and fairways.
People value their time now more than ever. 18 holes is time-consuming, generally long and can be extended by variables out of your control, like the weather or the group in front of you.
A great pleasure that many golfers enjoy is a quick nine holes – especially after work on a summer’s evening. That is arguably the greatest thing about this sport in the hotter months.
Time stands still
A walk can be enjoyed for hours into the evening. Heading down the 17th after 9pm? That doesn’t matter. You can watch the sun climb down through the clouds and over the holes, just as you look to finish your shortened round that lasts half the time, and covers half the holes.
Maybe you choose a given loop at your home club, or perhaps you head down to the local nine-holer and hop on while it’s not busy. One of the most satisfying walks in the game is that one with the extra spring in your step.
You know you’re not in it for the long haul. Many would argue nine holes is just the right amount to play without suffering from fatigue. There is little concern for your score – you’re merely out there to enjoy the walk, hit a few good shots and leave with your golfing thirst quenched.
Think of it as a reward – after a long day at work, in which the office walls confine you while you sit in great anticipation for what it is to come in the evening.
It doesn't matter how you play
The thought of that evening stroll is getting you through each meeting, each coffee break. Nine holes at the end of the day, and walking each step of the way with freedom and gusto, is your motivation.
And there is no better feeling. Lifting your boot open, slipping on your favourite pair of golf shoes, and putting the clubs on the trolley – all ready for action. The quality of the golf you play isn’t really relevant. It is relishing the walk and the swift nine holes that counts.
That is what golf can offer us, and that is why we all love it.
