GOLF 101

Golf isn’t just a sport—it’s a good time waiting to happen. Whether you’re sinking putts like a pro or just here for the laughs and fresh air, golf welcomes everyone. It’s all about fun, friends, and maybe a few mulligans along the way. Come swing, smile, and see why this game hooks people for life.

Make Golf Your Thing

WHAT IS MAKE GOLF YOUR THING?

In 2020, the golf industry united together to address two simultaneous opportunities: how to bring greater diversity to our sport and how to build on the momentum that golf has experienced since the pandemic began. A year later, “Make Golf Your Thing” was launched as a collaborative effort across the golf industry to ensure the future of golf is open to everyone.

This multi-faceted, multi-year campaign invites people to the sport from all backgrounds to enjoy the game of a lifetime in their own way.

A golf handicap is a great thing to have because it makes the game more fun and fair for everyone. It levels the playing field so golfers of different skill levels can compete against each other on equal terms. It also gives you a way to track your progress over time—seeing your handicap go down is a clear sign you're improving. Plus, if you ever want to play in tournaments or club events, you'll usually need an official handicap to qualify. It even adjusts based on the difficulty of the course you're playing, so your performance is measured fairly no matter where you tee off. Overall, having a handicap adds structure, credibility, and a little extra motivation to keep getting better.
