Health benefits of golf to all abilities and all ages.
Golf provides a stimulating mental challenge combined with a healthy walk, in pleasant surroundings and can be played by people of all abilities and all ages. Golf can be played on your own or in a team. It may be a casual pastime or a competitive activity. Golf can be good for your health and your heart. Walking an average course for a round of golf can be between five to seven kilometres. If you walk 18 holes three to five times a week, you’ll get an optimal amount of endurance exercise for your heart. If you pull your clubs or carry them, you’ll burn even more calories each round and benefit even more. Playing golf regularly is a great way to keep in touch with friends, help in reducing stress (as a result of the physical activity and also due to the pleasure of walking in an open and natural environment, provide opportunities to meet new people, help develop a sense of community connectedness, stay fit, improve muscle tone and durance and lose weight and body fat.
