Tee off to good health
Golf is a great activity to catch up with friends, spend time outdoors and close business deals.
Golf is also connected to many health and fitness advantages, including improving mental focus and lowering the risk of heart disease.
Take the quiz to see if you’re up to par with your golf health.
The next time someone says you’re on the course too much, have these health facts handy. Unlike higher-impact activities, an added benefit of golf is that many adults can continue to play into older ages. This helps keep the body in shape while enjoying the many health and social benefits of the sport.
