Today is your day Boomer! I know, I know.....you are saying to yourself "not another blog on golf please." But explaining the benefits of chasing a little white ball on grass all day may actually change your mind about this sport! Boomers, we all need exercise. So, when was the last time you went for a four hour walk? Probably, I am guessing, never. Most exercise walks or strolls are about 30 minutes to one hour. Hmmm.....good point. My next argument is this: muscle development. By swinging steel clubs and walking up and down hills for an extended time, we develop a better-toned body. That is simply good health. Third point: people are getting out in nature, breathing in fresh air, getting vitamins through sun exposure, and not leading sedentary lives. Remember, doctors say sitting too much is the modern version of smoking. And finally, studies show we all need a certain amount of socialization. It is good for our heart, soul and overal mental health to hang out with our buddies and laugh a little! P.S. A glass of red wine after the game is also good for the heart.....according to medical studies. Trust me. Golf is good for you. For me....three times a week. Give it a try. Cheers!
