Golf

If you are looking for a low-key way to get some sports action in this week, you should try to play a round of golf. I really like this sport because you have to use a lot of discipline and control and really understand the way that you use your body. There are tons of different variations of golf that you could try.

Traditional 18 Hole Course

I think that you have to have either a lot of patience or a great love of the sport for this. Get your friends together and play the whole 18 holes. If you don't have a full set of clubs, there's a good chance that you can rent them at the golf course your playing at. If 18 holes are too many, most courses have the option of only playing 9. Just remember to bring water with you because it can get pretty hot out there on the course.

Mini Golf

This is a great family friendly way to play golf without having to really know how to play the actual sport. Instead of using all of the different methods of moving the ball, you focus mostly on putting which is a lot easier. Mini golf is a lot of fun.

Driving Range

This is my personal favorite way to golf. Whenever I need to let go of some stress, I stop at the driving range by myself and buy a bucket of balls. The purpose of the driving range is to practice your drive (aka your long range shot when you tee off at the start of a hole). You basically get to whack a bunch of balls as hard as you can. Whether you want to practice your technique or just have some fun, it feels really good and it's a great stress reliever.

Frisbee Golf

This is a little different from the traditional game of golf. The rules of the game are the same, but instead of a golf ball, you play with a frisbee. This could be better for you if you are not as good at golf. Sometimes regular golf courses also offer a frisbee golf course, but you can also find them at most local college campus'.
