Benefits of Golf Sports

Golf sport is a fun-filled game that provides ranges of physical and mental benefits. Golf creates positive mental stimulations, different health benefits as well as opportunities to contest in sports both locally and internationally.

Emphasizing on the physical benefit aspects; golf offers ranges of physical fitness exercises for golfers regardless of the age and gender. The amount of walking that is involved in a round of golf alone creates a huge amount of body workout. 

Similarly, playing 9-holes round in a golf can take up to 3 miles while playing complete 18-holes rounds can equally take up to 6 miles. This implies that playing the game contributes a lot in burning a great number of calories in the body, making it a better weight loss exercise.

On the other hand, swinging of the arms, legs, back and abdomen, with numerous repetitions over the course of a round is an exercise on its own that helps the body to improve posture and gain extra energy.

It creates social opportunities. Golf is a kind of social event that creates an avenue for golfers to meet with people with different lifestyles at the golf clubhouse, make new friends and adapt to new social life as well.
