The Journey of Healthy Aging.

13/5.  A fantastic attendance in the Club House for a presentation on the “Journey of Healthy Aging”.  by Emma Fitzpatrick, Nutrition Science and Maria Curley on Physio. Organised by Club Lady President Mary Fitzpatrick, for all club members Ladies and gents.  Golf offers numerous benefits for older adults, promoting both physical and mental well-being.  The sport provides a low-impact way to exercise, improving balance, coordination, and cardiovascular health. Social interaction, stress relief, and cognitive stimulation are also advantages.  Golfers often describe the sport as meditative, allowing them to focus on the game and forget about everyday worries. This stress relief is particularly valuable for older adults, who may face anxieties related to ageing, health issues, or life transitions.  Give Golf a try, Join Templemore Golf Club, www.templemoregolfclub.ie [templemoregolfclub.ie]

Templemore Golf Club fund raising outing in Dunbeg.  Presentation to winner Jerry Keegan by Tom Kenny.

Golf Is For Everyone;

We’re in a strange time in human history right now. So many of things that we took for granted not that long ago are now either off-limits or have been drastically altered. Happily, one of the few things that seems to remain relatively unchanged is golf. Playing a round of golf is one of the few healthy activities left that allows you to play a game, get some exercise, reduce stress and hang out with friends. Walking a 9-hole or 18-hole course on a beautiful day is a great way to get some exercise and fresh air. The average 18-hole course will have you walking around five miles or so.  Congratulations if you have a vicious slice or hook.  All those extra steps in the woods looking for your ball add up to even more mileage.  Of course, the better you play, the more fun you’re going to have.  A golf fitness programs will have you hitting it longer, carding lower scores, and having a whole lot of fun in the process.  Why not join Templemore Golf Club, www.templemoregolfclub.ie [templemoregolfclub.ie]  and get good advise from like minded members.  Give it a try,  complete the contact  form on our web site.
