Playing golf is a way to stay healthy, take exercise, and have fun all at the same time.
Playing a round of golf means that you’re walking between four and eight miles and burning up around 1000 calories.
Any activity that leaves you slightly short of breath and works up a bit of a sweat is good for your cardiovascular system, or heart. Hitting practice shots on a driving range burns about 200 calories an hour. Golf is challenging physically
as well as using your co-ordination, concentration and strategy so is good for
mind and body. Even a bad game of golf cannot be all bad if you have been challenged and had exercise and fresh air!
Golf is one of the top social sports and it can be played year-round all over the world. If you’re walking the course, it can be a calm but
thorough workout, and the social side of golf is part of what makes it so popular. There are few things better in sports than teeing up on a
beautiful day with good friends. Golfing holidays can take you playing on courses all over the world. Learning a new
skill, setting and achieving a target gives you a great sense of satisfaction.
Golf’s unique combination of outdoor exercise and social interaction can help you live a longer, healthier life.
