Golf for Entertainment

By Alex Mirabeau

We live in a stressful world, so it's only natural that we look for new venues of entertainment to ease our minds. You can get a lot of entertainment when you play the game of golf. Especially if you're willing to have a little fun with it!

Both players and audiences to the game of golf are treated to an exciting and fun-filled experience. But aside from the innate entertainment quality that the game offers, you can introduce a lot of new twists into the sport that will make it more fun and fresh even for those who'd been playing or watching this sport for a long while now. All you need are simple modifications to the general structure of the sport and you can revive excitement and will have you wanting for more of this game.

One variation to the game is called "monkey golf". To play this game, all you have to do is to add slips of paper into a hat with the name of each club written on it. Players must then raffle through those slips of papers contained by the hat and they will have to use the specific club they have picked to play an entire round of golf. This is entertaining as one player could potentially drive off the tee using a driver or a putter.

Aside from that, playing night golf game can also be another entertaining way to approach this sport. Since most golf courses are not lighted, you can opt to use glow golf balls that are visible in the dark. Also, you must assign grease spots on the course so you'll know where you are aiming for. Trying to stay within course and properly navigate the ball even in dark conditions add up to the excitement level when playing golf for entertainment.

A friendly game of Wolf is hilarious entertainment. With this game, you have the option of picking players to be on your team based on how they hit the ball. Teams can change often. But the most fun of this game is when a player is putting to win the hole. The other players are allowed to do anything they want as long as they don't touch the ball. That leaves the field wide open. You can cover the player's eyes, place obstacles in front of the hole - the possibilities are endless - and great fun!

Some friendly side bets can also increase the entertainment value of the golf game. Try making these bets with dares instead of money. Wouldn't it be funny to make your opponent play with his or clothes turned inside out if they don't make that putt? Use your imagination and be creative - however, keep it G-rated. The golf course is, after all, a public place!

Finding entertainment on the golf course is actually quite easy when you think outside of the proverbial box. Just remember that the whole point of a friendly game is to have fun. So go out and do it!
