Open golf competitions are a great way to find new friends and play new courses, and one of the best ways of finding them is to join one of the online golf clubs. Many of these will have information on games that people are promoting and inviting others to take part. You will often find that there are games available at a time to suit you and in many cases not very far away from where you live. This gives you the chance to play courses that you otherwise would never have thought of, or that may be restricted to their members and guests only.
It is always fun to play a new course as there are no bad memories of quadruple bogeys or missed fairways, and the course is new and exciting. The fact is that most people play well on a new course, perhaps because they sub-consciously know that they need to play at their best. However, there are a few tips to be had by reading fellow members course reviews before you play. You can see photos of the course including the signature hole and check out the Stroke index/difficulty factor.
When you arrive at the open event, it is always worthwhile spending some time on the putting green to get a feel for the speed of the greens. Start with short putts and then increase the distance.
If you use a online golf club like thesocialgolfer.com, you can also review other members scorecards that have been posted on the site to see which holes may be the trickiest to navigate. So, no longer do you have to scour the web for Open golf events, just join an established and well like online golf club, new courses are always fun so there is no need to feel stressed.
