How To Get Ready For The New Golf Season

It has undoubtedly been a long and challenging winter for everyone, but we're all looking forward to what this spring could offer, with golfers in England now having a cherished date to embrace, Monday 29th March will mark the lifting of restrictions on the game and see the welcome reopening of courses across the country. 

For those in Scotland, play has thankfully continued since first resuming last May, while we're all hopeful that a similar return of the sport will come soon in Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland.

Ultimately, wherever you are, it's time to start thinking about the new season and just how you are going to make the most of the opportunity.

On Golfshake, we have a variety of services that can be the perfect companion for the year ahead. But we also have some ideas on how to inspire your mind, prepare your game, and chronicle the months to come as we all look to Play More & Play Better in 2021.
