All the proper training and equipment (ear plugs, guns, safety glasses, etc.) will be provided by your guide. Rookies with no experience around guns need not fear. I'm guessing more golfers will be talking about what they shot on the gun range than their golf score at the final banquet. It helps golf fatigue from dragging your group down. The same skill sets are good for both."Ĭould a shooting experience be the ultimate adventure on your next buddies trip? Shooting takes less time than golf and costs less, too.
"You are going from hole to hole (in golf) and station to station (in shooting). "It is so much the same hand-eye coordination, whether it is sporting clays or bows (and arrows)," Jeter said. They're also a great way to get a group together for some competitive fun. They require good aim, precision, confidence, proper technique, etc. Golf and shooting provide similar challenges. "It makes sense to do packages (with both golf and guns)." "Guys are less and less into 36 holes a day," said Chris Jeter, the director of golf at Mossy Oak and Old Waverly. Family ties have made Prairie Wildlife another amenity of the "resort", which includes stay-and-play accommodations at the semiprivate Old Waverly Golf Club across the street from Mossy Oak. The partnership between Prairie Wildlife and Mossy Oak came about because the owners of each are cousins. Dozens of premier private clubs - Bluejack National and Cordillera Ranch in Texas and Brays Island Plantation Golf Club in South Carolina, for example - do as well. Many of the best golf resorts offer gun clubs, shooting ranges and/or hunting experiences. Who would have thought golf and guns were a perfect match?īoth playing golf and shooting guns/hunting are great ways to fall in love with the outdoors.
I find it kind of ironic that I never had any experience shooting a gun until I started visiting top golf resorts around the country as a golf writer. I'm shooting sporting clays over a pond at the Orvis Shooting School at Prairie Wildlife, a nature preserve just minutes from the course. Kind of like the golf I played earlier that morning at Mossy Oak Golf Club, the new Gil Hanse course in West Point in rural Mississippi. I try to remain focused, steady, relaxed.
