ENJOY THE GAME WITH THE FOLLOWING PLAYBOOK

We all love golf - but let's be honest: the lifestyle and rules around it can be stiff, rigid, and old-fashioned. Here are a few suggestions for your next round to make your game more relaxed and enjoyable.

Mulligans: Don't be nervous, you get a mulligan on the 1st and 10th hole or whenever you feel like it.

Gimme Putts: Any putt within a putter's grip length is automatically counted as holed.

Preferred Lies: We are no pros playing for prize money. You can improve your lie if the ball is in a divot, plugged, or buried. Just place your ball next to it.

Lost Balls: If you can't find your ball, but it was clearly in play, don't be frustrated, just drop one without a penalty.

No Layups: Let's be honest, layups are no fun - go for the tiger line.

Go For The Green: On short, drivable Par 4s go for the green and a potential hole-in-one.

No Scorecard: If it is not your day or you do not feel like it, no shame in not keeping a score.

Reward Yourself: Have a round of drinks with your buddies once you are done.

Enjoy The Game: Any golf day is a good day!

Play Fair: Obviously when you play a tournament or a round to improve your handicap you stick to the official rules and do not cheat.
