When you think of a golf outing, sunshine, a cool breeze, and a light windbreaker are the natural thoughts. Well Corba, a Nichalus Design course in Acapulco is taking a new stance: Night Golf. This Grupo Mayan course brought in florescent lights, LED lights, and glow in the dark golf balls to light up the course.

For the third year in a row, the Corba golf course will host the Night Tournament during the Easter season. Over 100 people will tee off at 10:00 pm for their chance at great prizes, a great experience, and quality time with friends or family. Adults and kids alike come out to take on the challenge. It has been a great event for families and friends visiting the Grupo Mayan resort.

Or it could be the one a PGA pro tossed to you while watching a round of golf. Mostly likely there is not just one favorite ball, but a favorite brand or style of ball each golfer prefers.

At the Grupo Mayan Resorts, they strive to match you with the right ball for you and your game. If you come to Grupo Mayan Resorts wanting to learn the game of golf, you will have a different “right” ball than if you are playing on the Pro Tour. For beginners, the right ball is the cheapest ball as golf balls tend to go missing. The game of golf is really a game of finesse. If you can keep the ball in play, your desire to upgrade the golf ball will be much easier on the wallet. At Grupo Mayan Resorts, a beginner can take lessons as well as hit on the practice range before braving the 18-hole ocean front courses.

For intermediate golfers, the options for golf balls begin to get easier for you. You understand how you play the game. You might hit the ball shorter or longer and therefore the ball should maximize your game. Begin to invest in the Two Piece Low Compression balls that will help soften your short game while still giving you power in the long game.

During Christmas time Santa is a busy man. He prepares for his yearly delivery of gifts to all the people who made the “nice” list. After his work is done, Santa enjoys a nice long vacation at the Grupo Mayan Resorts. From December 26th to about mid-January, there is a high likelihood that you can find Santa on one of the Grupo Mayan golf courses.

It has been said that Santa enjoys a break from the North Pole weather and looks for something a bit more temperate. The consistent highs in the 80s and lows in the high 60s allow Santa to leave his Santa suit at the North Pole. He has been seen sporting the top quality golf apparel from each course. He has shirts from Peninsula De Cortes, a visor from El Manglar, and a pullover from Nayar. All of these courses are designed with ocean front holes by the Nicklaus Design firm. Santa’s good taste in apparel and great taste in course selection does not mean that Santa is a golf pro.

When you come out to Grupo Mayan Resorts’ golf courses during the winter, be on the look out for more than just flying reindeer. Santa has been known to slice a few flying golf balls. His jolly nature, the incredible weather, and the spectacular setting will keep bringing you and Santa back year after year. Luckily for you, the Grupo Mayan Resorts are available to you all year around. You are not restricted by duties in the North Pole. Put away your Santa suit and enjoy the sunshine at the Mayan Resort courses.

Play your best at the beautiful Grupo Mayan Resorts golf courses! Golf club selection can be a tricky process. A common myth is, the higher the price of a club, the better your game will be. Not true! Paying high prices does not lower ones handicap, but a properly chosen club will. Consider the tips below, as suggested by www.learnaboutgolf.com, before buying your next set of golf clubs.

1. The shaft - the better the shaft, the better the club.

2. Shaft flex has a major effect on the feel of a golf club, thus it’s important when choosing clubs.

3. Shallow face metal woods are easy to hit and extremely accurate due to their low center of gravity.

4. Beginners and novice players should consider eliminating the 2, 3 and 4 irons from their set and replacing with #3 and #5 hybrid clubs.

5. All golfers should use standard length clubs unless he or she is short or tall.

6. If you are not ’standard’ length, take the guess-work out by taking a wrist to floor measurement.

7. Loft angle has a major effect on distance off the tee, so it’s important to choose the correct loft for your driving club.

8. Slicing the ball off the tee may be the biggest problem confronting golfers. The face angle of the club has a major effect on accuracy off the tee.

9. Distance - There are four basic reasons to how far a player can hit a golf ball.
- The composition of the golf ball.
- Less loft for faster speed swingers = more distance.
- The longer the club the more distance.
- The more club head speed a golfer can generate at impact, the more distance.

Play like a champ the next time you tee off at Grupo Mayan Resorts in Mexico!

Grupo Mayan resorts are home to some of the most beautiful golf courses in the world. Regardless of which Grupo Mayan golf course you play, you will be surrounded by breathtaking landscape and beautiful lakes. The Grupo Mayan golf courses are so remarkable that you will forget about the strong Mexico sun beaming down. However, it is important to take precautions and stay cool while golfing at Grupo Mayan golf courses.

Every one knows that the appropriate attire for golf is a collared shirt. However, there are several different materials to choose from. To help stay cool while golfing in the heat, pick a golf shirt with breathable and moisture preventing material. A good example is the Nike Dri-FIT or Moisture Wicking golf shirts. These shirts will help you stay cool so you can enjoy the magnificent golf courses at Grupo Mayan resorts.

A crucial key to staying cool while golfing at Grupo Mayan golf courses is to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Many of you will be used to drinking margaritas or beer at the Grupo Mayan resort bars all day. However, it is very important to drink an abundance of water before, during and after your day of golfing. With the sun beaming down on you all day, your body needs hydration. If you want to mix things up, there are a variety of drinks that will also help you hydrate while golfing, such as Gatorade, Vitamin Water and Propel.

Another important item to pack before you spend the day golfing is sunscreen. Golfing all day in the sun makes it necessary for you to lather up the sunscreen before stepping out on the golf course. Be sure to use a sunscreen that is both sweatproof and a high SPF. It is also a good idea to pack a hat. Wearing a hat will keep the sun out of your eyes and a sunburn off of your face.

To enjoy the beautiful Grupo Mayan golf courses to the full extent, it is important to follow these tips and prepare ahead of time for your full day of golf.

Etiquette is a very important part about golfing, and for good reason. Golfing requires a lot of concentration, so it would be difficult to make a good shot or putt with someone laughing loudly, rattling their clubs, or running around the fairway or green. Plus, the etiquette is one factor that makes a game of golf so special and unique. At Grupo Mayan Resorts, the relaxation and enjoyment of the courses would be disturbed without the appreciation of such etiquette.

Essentially, etiquette is manners, and in using proper etiquette, people are able to courteously convey their respect for one another. First, players should always be quiet. Have you ever walked on to a golf course and taken a moment to appreciate the peaceful serenity of the setting? This is thanks to the other players being considerate of the need for quiet in order to play well. Other distractions should be avoided as well, so walk, don’t run, on the course. All of these little details help make Grupo Mayan golf courses such pleasant environments.

Safety is of the utmost importance in any sport, including golf. Watch where you take your practice swing- you wouldn’t want to hit another player! Also, golf carts can be dangerous, so keep an eye out for people around you.

A common rule in golf is the 90 degree rule: drive the cart on the path until you are even with your ball (at a 90 degree angle) then you can drive onto the fairway to your ball. After you’ve hit, drive straight back to the path and continue on. This way you cause the least amount of damage to the fairway. As a polite player, you can help to maintain the beauty of the courses at Grupo Mayan Resorts by following this rule.

Another key factor: keep moving! If golfers have to wait too long between shots they can lose their patience, so here are some tips on how to keep the pace up. Think about what club you will use in advance, and just try to keep an eye on the group ahead of you. As they leave the green, be ready to hit up to the green. This is more important than worrying about keeping space with the group behind you. In doing this, everyone can enjoy Grupo Mayan courses in a timely manner.

Finally, it is polite to make a tee time. The concierge at Grupo Mayan Resorts is always ready to help you make plans no matter what activity you’re looking for, and golf is no exception!
