is about 10,000 steps. Spending 4 to 5 hours playing
an 18-hole round will definitely exceed that amount.
So ditch the golf cart and burn away those calories!
SLEEP LIKE A BABY
A combination of exercise and fresh air on a regular
basis is the ultimate recipe for a perfect night of
sleep. Not only will you fall asleep faster, but you
will also stay in deep sleep for longer. Head to the
course, embrace the outdoors, and get a fulfilling
night’s rest.
HEALTHY MIND, HEALTHY BODY
What most people don’t know is that being
surrounded by nature, as well as exercise, benefits
mental wellbeing. Studies show increased attention
and happiness after walking amongst the greenery.
This is caused by an increase in levels of endorphins
and serotonin in your brain, leading in the reduction
of anxiety, as well as improved self-esteem, and
confidence. Luckily for golfers, they can surround
themselves with nature by spending the day at the
golf course. As people say, a healthy mind results in
a healthy body.
MAKE FRIENDS & TAKE MEETINGS OUTDOORS
Playing golf also has a great social element, allowing
people to not only spend time with friends and
family but to also meet new players with different
skill levels. With enhanced social connections, self-
identity, interpersonal skills, and emotional control
are boosted to a whole new level.
