3 Ways To Make More Time In Your Week For Golf

Posted on

If you're an avid golfer who sometimes feels as though there aren't enough hours in the week to sneak in a round of play, you're not alone. Many golfing enthusiasts struggle to make time to get to their local club, given that the average round of golf can easily take up to 4.5 hours. With work commitments, family obligations, and household tasks, securing a lengthy-enough window of spare time can be a challenge. If you've decided that this will be the year that you make golfing a priority, it's time to make some changes to free up more time. Here are some ways to achieve this goal.

1. Change How You Cook

It's often possible to make significant changes to how you prepare and cook food to free up time for golf. Cooking meals each day takes time, but some changes can easily free up time for you to play golf. Plan to cook large meals that you can eat for multiple days. For example, if you're spending 30 to 45 minutes making dinner each night, this prep time really adds up. Consider, instead, making a larger meal early in the week, such as chili or stew, and planning to eat it for dinner on Monday through Wednesday. Each change in this regard can help you to free up time over the course of the week.

2. Compress Your Workweek

Many companies allow you to compress your workweek, and while people often do so to fulfill obligations with their children, you can do so to help you get on the links more frequently. For example, if your company permits you to work an extra 90 minutes Monday through Thursday, you can perhaps take Friday off or leave at noon. This can be a simple way to change your schedule and make it easier to play a round of golf each week.

3. Consider What You Can Delegate

Perhaps you're short on time but healthy financially. If this is the case, delegating certain time-consuming tasks to people can give you more time to golf. For example, maybe you spend a couple of hours cleaning your home each week, as well as an hour cutting the grass and two hours walking the dog. Paying professionals or youths from the neighborhood for each of these services free up several hours per week, making it much easier for you to fit in a game of golf.
