How to Prepare for a Golf Tour: Fitness, Practice & Travel Tips

So, you’ve locked in your spot (or you're this close to doing it) for one of our upcoming golf tours—amazing! Whether it’s your first golf trip or your fiftieth, preparation makes all the difference between a good experience and a truly unforgettable one.

This guide will help you arrive ready, relaxed, and swinging with confidence.

🏋️‍♂️ Golf Fitness: A Little Goes a Long Way

You don’t need to train like a tour pro—but a bit of light fitness work before your trip will help you enjoy every round and avoid soreness.

Try this simple weekly routine (2–3 weeks out):

Stretching: Shoulders, hips, hamstrings (5 mins per day)
Walking: 20–30 mins, 3–4 times a week
Light core work: Planks, bird-dogs, or yoga for balance
Hydration: Start drinking more water now, not just on tour

The goal? Show up feeling mobile, energized, and comfortable after multiple days of golf.

⛳ Practice with Purpose

There’s no need to reinvent your swing before the tour—but a focused approach can sharpen your game and boost confidence.

Try this:

Play or practice at least once a week leading up to the trip
Spend time on short game—putting, chipping, bunker play
Hit the range with your travel clubs (if using a different set)
Don’t worry about score—focus on rhythm and consistency

Bonus tip: Practice lag putting! Tour greens may be faster or trickier than you’re used to.

🧳 Travel Prep: Pack Smart, Not Heavy

Packing for golf travel doesn’t need to be stressful. Start with this checklist:

Golf gear:

Clubs (in a travel bag with padding)
Golf shoes (clean and spikeless if flying)
Gloves, balls, tees, rangefinder
Collared shirts, shorts/pants, belt
Rain jacket or umbrella

Personal gear:

Sunscreen, hat, sunglasses
Reusable water bottle
Swimwear, dinner outfit
Medications and first-aid basics
Passport and ID (if international)

Pro tip: Use packing cubes and roll your clothes to save space. Leave room for souvenirs or prizes!

🧠 Mindset & Mental Game

Some of the best moments happen off the scorecard—so come with an open mindset.

Here’s how to mentally prepare:

Set one simple goal: “Enjoy myself,” “Meet new mates,” or “Play relaxed golf”
Visualize your first tee shot—and the feeling of finishing 18 with a smile
Let go of expectations. You’re here to experience the game, not perfect it.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

We’ve seen it all. Here’s what to skip:

Overpacking: You won’t need five pairs of shoes. Trust us.
Skipping warm-up holes or the range
Forgetting chargers or adapters
Not budgeting downtime—You’ll want moments to recharge
Not bringing cash or a travel card for tips and extras

✅ Final Checklist Before You Go

Clubs cleaned and packed ✔️
Flights confirmed and itinerary printed ✔️
Emergency contact shared ✔️
Positive mindset packed? ✔️

Is This Golf Event Right for You? 9 Questions to Ask Before You Miss Out

Planning your next golf getaway? Not all golf events are created equal. Before you book another weekend round or let this one pass you by, ask yourself these 9 essential questions. They just might convince you this is the trip you've been waiting for.

1. Is this of personal interest to me?

Do you love golf? Do you enjoy new experiences, travel, and good company? Then yes—this is tailor-made for you. The Ultimate Golf Challenge isn’t just a game. It’s a celebration of golf, mateship, and meaningful memories.

2. Why should I pay attention to this right now?

Because the opportunity to join doesn’t come around often—and spots are already filling. Early bird offers and group bookings won't last. If you're even half-interested, now's the time to lean in.

3. Is this exactly the solution that I need?

If you’ve been looking for a golf trip that’s organised for you, filled with fun, light on pressure, and rich with stories, then yes—this ticks every box. All you need to do is turn up and play.

4. What’s new, unique, exciting, easy, predictable, and huge about this?

This isn't just a comp—it’s an international-style event with a twist.

New: A fresh format and feel.
Unique: Every event celebrates someone’s story—like Annie’s legacy in our Memorial Round.
Exciting: Prizes, games, surprises.
Easy: We take care of the details—you enjoy the golf.
Predictable: You’ll play quality courses with great people.

Tim Ireland has run golf travel events globally—from Pebble Beach, the Philippines, Cambodia and even everyone’s bucket list item—The Masters. He’s a pro’s pro, with nearly 40 years of experience. Our blog and community are growing, and the amazing feedback from anyone who has ever experienced one of our events can tell you about their experiences.

6. How does this work?

It’s simple:

Choose your event or register interest from our website.
We confirm details, itinerary, and inclusions.
You pay and show up with your clubs—we take care of the rest.

Some events are one-day. Others are full-blown adventures. All are unforgettable.

7. What are other people saying about it?

“I haven't had this much fun on a golf trip in years.”
“I’m coming back next time—and bringing three mates.”
“This has been an unforgettable event all round. Tim and Annie have been flawless with the entire experience.”

8. What guarantee is there that this will work for me?

We’re golfers too. We know what makes a great day on the course. If something isn’t right, we fix it. If you’re unsure, try a one-day event first and see for yourself—no pressure.
