Football may be the biggest sport in
the country, but not everyone wants to participate in a contact
sport. If you want a more serene activity that will still challenge
your skills, golf may just be the pastime you’re looking for. In
fact, up to 29 million Americans swing
golf clubs
each year in the hopes of scoring a hole-in-one. As it happens, this
sports also offers many benefits, such as:
Promotes Better Balance
In golf, form is everything—from
the moment you prepare your swing all the way to your follow through.
With enough practice, it’s not only your game that will improve but
your balance and posture, too.
Enhances Concentration
Golf is as much a mental game as it
is physical one. After all, you have to use your brain to plan each
shot and create a winning strategy. In other words, concentration is
a must, and this increase in concentration can help you cope better
with the stresses of daily life.
Low Chances for Injury
Again, unlike contact sports like
football and basketball, golf has a very low chance for injuries.
It’s really a very leisurely sport, which makes it extremely
popular to players, both young and old. What’s more, there are now
companies that can install a putting green in your backyard so you
can practice anytime you wish to.
