Tee Times Algarve Golf – Holiday Your Way to Better Golf
There is no better way to improve your golf game whilst also relaxing and unwinding in the sunshine than by taking a golfing holiday. Both the New York Times and Today’s Golfer Magazine agree that the Algarve is the best golf holiday destination in Europe. With a host of fantastic golf courses and near constant sunshine, you’ll find that when you’re on holiday in the Algarve you’ll want to play golf everyday: such constant and focused commitment to your game for an intensive period of time is sure to lead to quick improvement. Travelling with a non-golfer? Then the Algarve is still the ideal destination, because it is quite simply one of the most stunningly beautiful destinations in Europe. Think sandy white beaches stretching for miles, delightful towns and villages to explore, and of course fantastic bars and restaurants ideal for watching the world go by.
If the focus of your holiday is on improving your golf game though then there really is no better destination in Europe than the Algarve. The region offers 40 different world class golf courses, meaning that you’ll never have to play on the same course for two days in a row if you don’t want to. No matter what your ability level or your course preferences, you’ll find that your needs are catered for in the region, and you’ll find that your golfing skills will begin to improve almost as soon as you arrive.
Practice Really Does Make Perfect
The fact is, you don’t need any particular natural ability to be a great golfer (although, of course, it helps if you do have natural golfing skills). In order to be a good golfer all you actually need to do is regular and deliberate practice. The term ‘deliberate practice’ was coined by the renowned psychologist K. Anders Ericsson and, when applied to the art of playing golf, it refers to the act of practicing beyond your comfort zone. The difference between a good golfer and a great golfer is the number of hours they spend on the course. That means practicing more regularly than you would normally, expanding your abilities by trying the same swing over and over again, effectively putting yourself on a kind of golf boot camp. And one of the very best ways to do this is to totally immerse yourself into a golf holiday. Put simply, the more you practice playing golf the better a golfer you will be. So when you take a golf holiday you should ensure that you have a tee time booked for every day of your stay and that you have a set goal in mind, a target for what you want to achieve during the duration of your break. Not sure that a one or two week golfing holiday will be enough? You could extend your break by making use of a a specialist golfing cruise to transport you to the Algarve. Much more relaxing than simply flying, a golf cruise will provide you with expert tuition and plenty of opportunity to improve your game. It’s the ideal way to warm yourself up before throwing yourself into a two week long holiday of intensive golf practice. You may even find that you meet some fellow golf enthusiasts heading to your destination, meaning that you’ll have plenty of new friends to share your tee time with!
All Work and No Play
Of course, we appreciate that there’s more to life than golf and whilst some visitors will want to play morning noon and night during their golf holiday, others will prefer to incorporate a little golf into a wider luxurious and relaxing holiday. Luckily, the Algarve is the perfect location for total luxury and relaxation: the town is packed full of fantastic things to see and do, delicious restaurants perfect for leisurely dining, and mile after mile of breathtaking golden beaches. You could spend your mornings checking out the massive range of fine golf courses the region has to offer before spending the afternoons sight seeing and exploring the beaches, or vice versa. No matter what kind of golf holiday you’re looking for, you’ll be able to tailor-make the ideal holiday for you in the Algarve and create an incredible dream holiday that you’ll never forget.
