Get Ready for the Rough

When you golf in Destin, you will likely end up in the rough a time or two. It tends to happen because these courses are so challenging. You need to know how to handle the rough or you will end up with a ton of extra shots on each hole. You need to avoid hacking and chopping at the ball when you are in the rough. Instead, take a firm grip and move up so you are close to the ball. This will give you some extra power that you can use to get the ball out of the rough.

Chip with a Hybrid

Chipping is a big part of golfing in Destin. If you’re like a lot of people, you have a hard time chipping with the wedge .if that is the case, take out your hybrid for your chip shots. This is a good option when you golf in Destin due to the large greens. You will have ample space to chip it up with a hybrid.

Hit it Further by Spreading Your Feet Wider

People usually spread their feet shoulder width apart. You can speed up your swing by spreading them wider. You will have extra stability, which will help you swing for the fences. That will make it easier to drive the ball down the fairway.

Now that you have some tips for golf in Destin, it’s time to hit the course. Schedule a tee time and get ready for a fun day out on the course.
