SPECIAL SECTION: FOR YOUR HEALTH

It’ s a sport that brings you close to nature on beautiful sandy beaches with warm water... instructors can schedule your lessons around the tides and forecast wave conditions.

A match made in heaven
Golf is another outdoor activity that will keep you fit and challenge you mentally. Jason Sedan, a PGA Certified Professional, has been recognised as one of Golf Digest’ s 100 Best Young Teachers in America and is always happy to introduce people to the sport.
“ Golf is a great outdoor game and lessons can really jump-start your readiness to get on course and have fun,” he says.“ There’ s no shortage of top-teacher lists, but often it comes down to location.”
“ If you are able to get to your coach easily, the chance of seeing them as often as you should increases significantly. Finding a coach with a group class schedule is of tremendous value as well.” If you’ re completely new to golf, Jason says to keep in mind that there is much nuance to the game and it can’ t be rushed.“ Trust your coach to provide the building blocks you need to nail the basics,” he advises.“ The rest will come from the time you spend practising on your own.”
While Jason believes that there are no fitness prerequisites, he does say that good posture can help your game by reducing chances of back pain and improving upperbody rotation for better swings. >
