Car Rentals Fort Lauderdale and Golf
Continental Rent-a-Car Fort Lauderdale car rentals encourage you to try out one of the more than 40 golf courses in the area.
Continental Rent-a-Car Fort Lauderdale car rentals say that if you want to take a golf cart, be mindful of the golf cart etiquette:
Follow the 90-degree rule. This rule was designed to lessen traffic on the fairways by driving carts. Here’s how to follow the 90-degree rule:
- Drive your cart up the path until you are even with your ball.
- Make a 90-degree turn to go out to the fairway.
- When you have completed your shot, return to the cart path.
- Continue up until even with the next shot.
- Again, make a 90-degree turn to go out to your ball.
For par 3 holes, keep carts on cart paths at all times. Also, keep carts at least 30 yards from the greens. Continental Rent-a-Car Fort Lauderdale car rentals advise against driving carts between bunker and greens because this damages the area just in front of the greens.
How Do I Know Which Golf Club to Hit?
If you’re wondering, knowing which golf club to hit is also known as knowing your yardage. You’ll learn by trial-and-error.
When you first start playing, you’ll need to make educated guesses. As you play, pay attention to your results and adjust accordingly. With experience, you’ll improve on choosing the right golf club to use for your shots.
Keep in mind distance isn’t always a deciding factor when choosing the right club. Be mindful of other factors, such as wind.
The clubs are designed so that there should be a regular yardage interval between clubs. For example, the 3-iron will go 10 yards farther than a 4-iron, which will go 10 yards further than a 5-iron.
Continental Rent-a-Car Fort Lauderdale car rentals want to enlighten you with some tips on choosing the appropriate golf club to use for different shots.
How To Repair Divots
Repairing divots is as basic a part of golf as creating divots.
Here's How:
- Depending on your location and types of turf used, the proper way to repair a divot can vary. Ask before your round if you’re unsure what the proper way is.
- Many courses ask you to replace your divot. Pick up the divot and put it back in place in the same direction it came out. Tap down firmly so the ground is level.
- Courses with actively growing Bermuda grass may prefer to have divots filled with sand rather than replaced. Fill with sand (usually provided on the cart) and tap down firmly.
- Some courses provide a mixture of sand and seed for use in repairing divots. Fill and tamp down firmly.
Continental Rent-a-Car Fort Lauderdale car rentals ask if you knew that:
- Replacing or repairing divots is designed to get the turf growing again as quickly as possible.
- Failure to replace or repair a divot can add weeks to the time it takes turf to heal itself.
