Orlando Golf Courses And Refining Your Game

By Patty Summers


Orlando Golf Courses offers the golfer the perfect opportunity in refining their game on some of the most spectacular courses found in this part of the United States of America. It is a city located in the eastern part of the country and is located just off the Atlantic Ocean. Because of this Orlando boasts some of the most challenging and scenic courses that golf has to offer.

With this in mind you will now be able to gauge more or less what the wind will be doing on every hole. This is useful should you already have a conception of the layout of each hole as to its distance to the pin, where pot bunkers are located or obstacles such as tall palm trees that must be avoided. Keeping your trajectory low at all times is essential whilst guiding your ball through eighteen holes as invariably courses such as these have long thick grass which encompass the roughs.

Understanding these conditions becomes somewhat of a science and understanding these conditions is a worthwhile exercise in order to improve your game. When walking out from the first tee towards the ninth hole you will gain a better idea of what you are up against. Roughs typically comprise of long tall bushy grass that are almost reed like in nature.

Golf courses are rated as to their level of difficulty. It is well worth the effort to familiarize yourself with the course you intend playing at before taking a club out of your bag. One can turn this exercise into a family day where incredible lunches, breakfasts and dinners are laid out fit for a king. This is an ideal time to walk the course after eating a sumptuous meal, armed with a score card and notebook.

Should you not know what a rough is and have never heard of this term before, it is an area of the course that typically demarcates the fairway on any given hole. Fairways by nature are cut and manicured to perfection so that playing off them is a whole lot easier. This is why you will want to stick to the fairways as you navigate your way around a link course.

Most golfers make it a practice to do just this as it allows them to think about how they will play through the eighteen holes. Each hole has its obstacles and challenges. You will want to take note of several factors when walking through the eighteen holes.

This is an ideal way to spend time with your family too. Link courses are synonymous with windy conditions because of their geographical location. High wind speeds can lower your total score for the day and do much more than that.

The best way to judge which way the wind is blowing on any particular Orlando Golf Courses is to take some sand or a pinch full of grass and throw it up in the air. Obviously you will be able to feel which way the wind is blowing without having to do this. This will give you an indication as to the force of the wind blowing on any particular hole.
