[Asia Economy Reporter Nowrae Noh] Golfers speak through their scores.

However, submitting a low scorecard is not everything. It is even better to be recognized as a good golfer, not just by the number of strokes. This is the 'Good Golfer Know-How' recently introduced by Golf.com in the U.S. First, arrive early at the golf course and warm up. This means you are ready for the round. You should loosen up your body with full swings, short games, and putting so that your grip, address, and swing feel natural from the first hole. This leaves a strong impression on your playing partners.

Make sure to finish your swing properly. Golf is a balance sport. This is something you must remember to succeed on the course. As a bonus, your form will also look better. When teeing off, do it like a pro. Hold the ball and tee in one hand and push the tee into the ground using the pressure of the ball. It looks even cooler if your back leg lifts slightly. Awkward postures only disappoint your opponents. Play quickly and keep moving. Prepare in advance while other players are taking their shots.

Equip yourself with stylish bags and headcovers. This is a good starting point to appear as a decent golfer. Lightweight caddie bags are preferable. Especially those that are easy to carry on your back and have legs to stand comfortably, known as stand bags, are the best. Knit and leather materials are popular for headcovers. A good golfer should also be able to calculate distances on their own. Using a rangefinder can easily solve this and is also a secret to shortening round times.

Show off unique logos. Besides bags and headcovers, you can display logos on shirts, hats, belts, and more. Bringing rare items such as Masters-related merchandise during rounds is also not a bad idea. This is not to boast but to attract goodwill from others. You must thoroughly study the rules of golf. When confusion arises due to lack of knowledge, you can step in as a problem solver. Fashion is also part of golf. Good golfers come from good attire.
