Golf Is Good For Your Health

Besides being one of the most popular sports played across the world, golf can actually be good for your health. Depending on how you play and whether you choose a golf cart to get around the course or not playing golf can be great exercise. Walking is the best form of exercise for most people. It does not put too much pressure on your knees as running would and it allows effective breathing for the heart rate increase that occurs as you walk from hole to hole. Walking a full 18 hole golf course is equivalent to 40-50% of 30 minutes of aerobic exercise.

Not only can walking the course be good for your health but it can be good for your game. As you walk from tee to tee you will get a better feel for the golf course such as where the hills are and the overall distance. If you take in your surroundings you might also be more relaxed and get some fresh air which could help your concentration. Walking the course will allow time to rid any frustrations that could be built up form the hole before.

Knowing this you can enjoy your golf game even more than you did before.
