Golf, Fun and an opportunity for Tourism
The perfect sport to combine with your holidays
Did you know that golf in Mallorca has become one of the most popular sports on the island? More and more people are becoming interested in this sport, even more so in Mallorca, where it is a great option even when on holiday. But why is golf such a fashionable sport?
Golf in Pollensa
Playing golf in Pollensa is an opportunity not to be missed, as here you have the option of playing on extensive courses where the lawns are very well kept. In addition, the island's year-round weather conditions favour the good condition of the green. We would also like to highlight the reasons why playing golf is a very suitable alternative when you come to Mallorca:
It is true that golf is an individual sport in which you do not compete against a specific rival, but against everyone at first, although the circle narrows as you progress from hole to hole. Therefore, it is a fun and competitive sport, but at the same time calm, as you set the pace yourself and the conditions are quiet so that the golfer can hit the ball with the greatest possible concentration.
Mental activation: This concentration is key to have an adequate mental activation, to which are added aspects such as the analysis of the situation, the coordination of the arms, mental resistance or self-motivation. All this makes golf a recommendable practice also on holidays.
Total disconnection: You are not obliged to compete every time you play golf, and you can also compete against yourself to improve. In these cases, this sport provides a situation of absolute disconnection, which also helps thanks to the green and quiet environment. Moreover, people who play golf, even once, create a bond that lasts a lifetime.
Tranquillity amidst the hustle and bustle of tourism: When we go on holiday or sightseeing, we tend to do a lot of things, so it doesn't hurt to have a moment of relaxation for ourselves. Golf provides you with these moments of disconnection, as we have mentioned in the previous point, while at the same time it fills you with energy to continue visiting the city where you are.
In short, Golf in Mallorca is a booming activity for all these reasons, which stand out for taking us to a state of inner peace. In this way, we achieve our goal of disconnecting during our holidays and returning to our routine with our batteries well charged. It's time to play golf and, if it's in Mallorca, so much the better!

The first thing to keep in mind is that golf is a sport in which you need concentration, precision and coordination. Starting in this sport can be intimidating at first. So, if you're ready, here you have a few tips to start playing golf in the best way.1. Sign up for classesLearning on your own is a complicated task. The best way to start in this exciting sport is to take classes with a professional who knows how to tell you at all times how to improve your gestures and postures. Remember that in Pollensa Golf you can take classes with the best professionals.2. Get the necessary equipmentAt the beginning, it's enough if you rent the equipment. In Golf Pollença we can offer you the ones that you need. But if you're ready and want to get your own club equipment, we recommend that at first you only buy the basics to begin with.3. PatienceAt first, it's difficult to go directly to an 18-hole course. It's best to practice for a while before venturing on a long field. Another good option is to play a game of Pitch and Putt, a type of golf that is played in a field of reduced dimensions.4. Warm up wellIt's true that golf is not a rough sport, but during your practice many joints of the body move, so it never hurts to perform a good warm-up before you start playing.5. Keep your feet on the groundSurely you've seen more than one professional on TV making turns with their feet when making a swing. But if you are starting now, it's best to keep your feet firmly planted on the ground when hitting the ball, so you'll not lose sight of it.6. Always with a gloveAt the beginning, we hold the sticks with excessive force and this can cause blisters. So, before you start playing, take off the rings and put on a glove. You will appreciate it.7. Do not despairThe beginnings can be hard. Don't expect to send the ball to 100 meters and direct the ball to where you want. You have to practice a lot and, even so, in golf there're more bad days than good ones. But the good ones are wonderful.With these simple tips you're ready to start this exciting sport. We wait for you in Golf Pollensa!

Have you ever thought about playing golf in Mallorca? If the answer is yes, then you will be interested to know the information we are going to give you in this article, as it will help you to enjoy this sport even more.Shots you should practice in Golf Pollensa.When we talk about playing golf in Pollensa, we are talking about playing a healthy, fun and addictive sport. But we also talk about the need to practice in order to improve little by little and to enjoy it more and more.Well, we are going to show you here up to four of the most important strokes in which you will have to make an effort to get better and better.Tee shotSo called because it is the shot with which the game starts. It is made from the tee using a club that will depend on the length and type of hole, although it is usual to use wood if the hole is far away, and irons for shorter shots.DriveThis is the long distance shot whose aim is to get the ball as close to the green as possible. Depending on how skilled a shooter you are, it can be as long as 300 metres. It is carried out with a club, the driver, which has great length and few degrees.PuttThis is the exact opposite of the previous shot. Its purpose is precisely to be used for short distances. It is used when the ball is already on the green and the only thing you are looking for is for the ball to roll over it, without needing to leave the ground.It is, so to speak, a precision shot, so you have to pay close attention to the speed and the line the ball is going to follow until it reaches the hole. This calculation has to take into account the slope of the ground and other factors such as wind. A club called a putter is used, which is the shortest iron in the bag; it has one flat surface and one rounded surface.ApproachThe essential objective of this stroke (as its name suggests, since in Spanish it means "to approach") is to bring the ball close to the green from a medium distance, with a controlled and soft stroke, somewhat stronger than the putter, but weaker than the drive.This is done with a short club, called a sand wedge or pitching wedge.Is this clear to you? Then we can already say that you know in detail how to enjoy golf in Mallorca to the maximum, because you already know how to improve in this sport quickly and easily through the strokes that we have shown you.
