This can make the hike much more interesting. The club usually has a leader of the hike who will point out interesting things along the way. If you are not familiar with the trails, it is always good to go with a group and a leader who is an experienced hiker.
ALL FAMILY MEMBERS CAN JOIN IN ON THE HIKE
Even your little children will love to go along on a hike, providing the walk is not too far for them. You can always start out on short hike ? some clubs will have a one-mile hike, five-mile hike, ten-mile hike and even more. There are also different type of hikes ? such as day hikes and moonlight hikes. As with anything else, you should ask your physician before starting any kind of exercise program.
EXPENSES
Hiking is very inexpensive. You might have to pay a hiking club a fee to be a member. On most hikes, people will take some snacks and something to drink during rest periods. You might want to carry a small "fanny pack" with you in order to be able to carry all your snacks, etc. The only other cost involved would probably be the gas to get you to the hiking starting point. If someone is interested in being a "professional hiker", there are much more sophisticated supplies, etc. you would need. Right now, we are just talking about hiking for fun.
WHY IS HIKING FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY?
First of all, it gives everyone a chance to be together. You have something in common to talking about. When you take your rest breaks, you can all get a chance to discuss the hike or any subject you want to bring up. You might even want to play a couple of word games while relaxing during the break.
HEALTH BENEFITS
Walking is often the recommended exercise choice by physicians. If you had a stressful week at work, what better way to relax then to take a hike with your family and enjoy the beautiful outdoors!
Some people get plenty of entertainment when they simply play the game of golf. But it can be made so much more fun when you put twists on regular games. You can modify the way you play and get a lot more enjoyment from the game.
For example, why not play a game of "monkey golf". For this game, you put slips of paper in a hat that bears the name of each club in a normal bag. Players pick out a slip of paper and they have to use only that club for the entire round. The entertainment possibilities here are endless as you can imagine a person driving off the tee with a putter or chipping with a driver!
You can find great entertainment in the golf game when you play a little night golf. Golf courses aren't lighted, but you can get glow in the dark balls and have grease pots on the greens so you can see where you're going - well, sort of. It's great fun to drive your ball and then have to navigate in the dark to see where it went! Let's hope you didn't slice into the woods!
A friendly game of Wolf is hilarious entertainment. With this game, you have the option of picking players to be on your team based on how they hit the ball. Teams can change often. But the most fun of this game is when a player is putting to win the hole. The other players are allowed to do anything they want as long as they don't touch the ball. That leaves the field wide open. You can cover the player's eyes, place obstacles in front of the hole - the possibilities are endless - and great fun!
Some friendly side bets can also increase the entertainment value of the golf game. Try making these bets with dares instead of money. Wouldn't it be funny to make your opponent play with his or clothes turned inside out if they don't make that putt? Use your imagination and be creative - however, keep it G-rated. The golf course is, after all, a public place!
Finding entertainment on the golf course is actually quite easy when you think outside of the proverbial box. Just remember that the whole point of a friendly game is to have fun. So go out and do it!
