Maintenance tips for your golf equipment
Look after your clubs and balls to make them last
After completing some golf holes in Mallorca you have to take care of your equipment. Sticks and balls will take most care, but you should also pay attention to clothes and shoes. This will ensure that everything is in perfect condition when you come back to play golf in Pollensa. But we warn you that the maintenance of the golf equipment starts already in the field itself.
Maintenance of golf equipment: clubs and balls
A golfer who uses specific bags for clubs shows that he knows how to protect them. If you do, you'll avoid rubbing each other and consequent damage.
Woods and putters should always be in their sheath to avoid cracks.
Keep the clubhead clean, preventing grass or mud from accumulating on stretch marks. Dry the sticks after each game, especially if it has rained, and clean the grip every 4 or 5 games so that the handle is always as new.
As for the balls, they should be cleaned every few holes and when they are dirty with mud at the beginning of the hole. After a game, you can wash them with soap and warm water without fear of damaging them.
The golf cart is also included in the maintenance of the golf equipment. We suggest you to clean and oil it periodically; If it's electric, charge it only when necessary.
Other maintenance of golf equipment: clothing
Try not to store wet clothes in the bag to prevent the clothes or the bag from rotting.
Clean the shoes after each game, especially if they have been wet. If you lose a nail or it has worn out, just change it.
Finally, we recommend that you keep your gloves stretched and dry when they are wet. If it rains while you play golf in Mallorca, change the leather ones to synthetic ones.

One of the services we provide the members of our golf course in Mallorca is the Junior Academy for children. As we are highly aware of the benefits of this sport for children, we want to give you some reasons to make golf your children’s favourite out-of-school activity.Why enrol your children in a golf academy?1. Fight against sedentary living by having your children play a sport in which they are permanently in contact with nature. This activity allows your children to learn to value the environment and conservation. The mere fact of taking care of the golf course by picking up any bit of paper or plastic on the ground is an important step in that learning process.2. Golf is practically risk-free for your children, compared with other sports such as basketball, football, and tennis. The chances of suffering a serious injury are minimal since the child plays alone without physical contact with any other children.3. A problem that our kids often have is impatience. By playing golf they will learn to be more patient and to deal with frustration since one of the main qualities of this sport is knowing how to manage shots and not lose patience over mistakes.4. Golf is the perfect reason to spend more time with your children by sharing in something they like in a family setting. A weekend getaway to our golf course in Mallorca is ideal for bringing the family together which is something we sometimes overlook due to the stress in our daily lives.For 5 year-olds and above, the Junior Academy at our golf course in Mallorca is intended for parents who want to provide their children with the chance to learn a highly beneficial sport.

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 PollensaPlaying 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!
