7 great reasons to play golf
1. Excellent exercise.
Golf requires a certain level of fitness. Even if you choose to pay extra for a buggy, you still have to walk a fair distance. In the great outdoors, with a beautiful backdrop, it is the kind of exercise that is a pleasure, and we could all do with more of that.
2. Living outdoors.
Golf courses are usually located far from the madding crowd. That means less pollution and a chance to connect with nature.
3. Expand your social life.
Anyone will tell you that when you play golf, whether you choose to join a club or not, you will make lots of new, like minded friends. All golf clubs have club houses with very good restaurants and bars. A post game drink or lunch is "par for the course"!
4. Challenge yourself.
Most of the time you are playing against yourself, even if you choose not to get competetive, there is always a challenge. You will find yourself striving to improve your game. In every golf club there are instructors available, for all levels, a driving range and putting green to practice.
5. The whole family can play.
Most clubs actively encourage children and young people to take part. Getting the whole family involved makes it that much more pleasurable. It is also a game you can play when you get older and less active, so better to learn when you are young.
6. Networking and business.
Golf is a popular sport among business men. It is a great way of making connections and sowing the seeds of the next business deal.
7. Improves health.
All of the above factors mean that taking up golf is sure to improve your health. You will sleep better, possibly improve your blood pressure, reduce anxiety and depression and find it easier to relax and de-stress from the pressures of every day life.
