Pre-Wedding Golf

BLUEman: The Male Perspective

Have you thought about what you’d like to do the morning of your wedding day?

If you like to play golf, that might be the thing for you.

Grab the guys from your bridal party, and a few other buds, and head to the local golf course.

Before making your plans to play golf, make sure you call ahead and reserve a couple sets of tee times. You don’t want to leave anyone out.

As much as I enjoy playing golf, I’ve had my share of post golf illness. Twice, I’ve come back with either too much sun or a case of heat exhaustion.

That brings me to my list of things to remember prior to going golfing, especially on the day of your wedding:

1. Bring and USE sun block (use being the key word)
2. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate (and no, beer is not a form of hydration)
3. Give yourself plenty of time (don’t start a tee time that’s only five or six hours prior to your ceremony. You’ll need time to relax and get ready as well)
4. Make tee times well in advance
5. Don’t forget your dad and father-in-law to be to play as well (the more people you get, you might qualify for a special rate)

Most importantly remember the main event of this day is your wedding, saying I Do, and partying the night away. So, by all means enjoy your last golf outing as a single man, but be extra careful as you want to make sure you’re 100% for when you and your bride see each other at last.
