In all seriousness though, it depends on where you live in the world. Many people in the warmer areas of the world like to play in the early morning and late evening when the sun is not as hot. These people typically like to play in most of the months that are not in the summertime. It is tough to play golf in the extreme heat, so those are the best times of day and year to play in hot climates. The rest of the world has more weather changes, so these people usually can enjoy playing throughout the day without much of a problem with the heat. Yes, it still gets hot, but it can be tolerated. The best time to play in these areas is in the late spring or early summer because the heat is not as bad and the newness of the seasons makes it a great time to get outside. If you are golfing competitively, you will also want to golf around the green aerating times.

A few body measurements and an assessment of your playing style, such as swing speed and handicap, is taken into account in customizing the golf clubs. The entire process takes less than thirty minutes.

Generally, the clubs take into account your height and distance from your wrist to the floor. These measurements can be made shorter or longer from the standard length depending on the length of your arms.

Finally, the flex, or stiffness, of the golf clubs is taken into account. Stiffer shafts such as steel shafts are better suited for more forceful hitting golfers whereas more flexible graphite shafts are preferred by women and lighter hitting golfers. Shaft flexes can come in Men’s Regular, Stiff, Extra Stiff, Senior, and Ladies.

Armed with your personal measurements, many golf specialty stores have databases that can recommend specific club brands well suited for your personal playing style.

The cost of custom fitted clubs is often not that much more than purchasing a new set of “off the rack” clubs. Also, many golf club manufacturers offer free fittings with the purchase of a new set of clubs.

What it costs to the public for a standard 18 holes will determine on the area of the course, whether or not it is public only, and what is entailed. If you need to rent equipment or carts the price will be more too. The average price is between $20 to $30 for public parks but you might spend $10 to $20, or more in some areas or for private clubs. This is just for a round of 18 holes and does not typically include renting a cart, or any other equipment you might need. If you are looking to play on a more upscale course you might be looking at $160 to $500 for a round of 18 holes. Clubs like those are typically considered to be the cream of the crop of golf courses though and not your everyday course.

To save money pay attention for coupons or special days where discounts are given. Some country clubs will also have open house days, where for a reduced fee, or sometimes free you can gain access to the some of the clubs enmities. Another option, especially if it your visit is only play nine holes as opposed to 18 holes. If you are ever in doubt you can always call the golf course and ask questions about pricing, or anything else you would like to know about their establishment.
