\"\"<\/a>While the challenge of becoming a better player always keeps golf an interesting, enjoyable game, there\u2019s nothing wrong with removing some of the serious irritations inherent to the sport. As long as it doesn\u2019t constitute cheating or poor sportsmanship, great golf hacks should be treasured and shared.<\/p>\n

Make Your Ball Unique\u2014Never Hit the Wrong Ball<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"Never hit the wrong ball again, not when you can make it so distinctive that you and all your golfing companions will have no doubts about its ownership. Take some time to come up with a clever, unique logo and use a permanent marker to mark your balls before a round. If art isn\u2019t your strong suit (or you\u2019re looking for a great golf-related gift), pick up a golf ball logo stencil from a place like Tin Cup<\/a> for a signature design.<\/p>\n

Have Your Sticks Delivered\u2014Never Pay Carrier Rates Again<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"Whether you\u2019re hoping to get a couple rounds in during a business trip or play all day, every day on vacation, don\u2019t pay exorbitant carrier fees or risk damage to your clubs from less than careful handling at the airport. Instead, have your sticks shipped via a specialized courier that picks up, ships, tracks, and delivers your clubs directly to your hotel room or clubhouse. When you\u2019re ready to head back home, simply leave your golf bag in your hotel room or clubhouse and let the courier pick them up and return them to your home or office. A company like ShipSticks<\/a> also offers guaranteed on-time delivery and offers lower prices and far better handling than your average airline luggage handlers. Shipping your clubs via a specialized golf club courier saves you time, cash, and logistical headaches.<\/p>\n

Keep Your Shoes and Grips Dry\u2014It\u2019s the Little Things that Can Annoy<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The weather doesn\u2019t always cooperate, but a little rain doesn\u2019t have to ruin your game. Keep your grips dry during wet weather conditions by stocking a couple towels into a pocket of your bag. You can also tuck the grip into a dry pocket or under your jacket between holes.<\/p>\n

To keep your feet and head dry, check out superhydrophobic products that, when applied to surfaces like your shoes, hat, or gloves repel water completely. You can also experiment with products such as Hydrobead<\/a> or NeverWet<\/a> on the grips of discarded clubs to see how a superhydrophobic grip handles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
