The best way to play after work.

Let’s talk about the health benefits of playing golf.

When we asked adults who play sports which one they play the most, golf topped the list. That’s right. We find that a day on the links beat out soccer, softball and tennis.

Your first reaction was: Whaaat? Golf is played by people riding around in motorized carts; how much exercise could you possibly get?

Most underestimate the health part of the game.

The World Golf Foundation estimates that golfers who walk an 18-hole course clock about 5 miles and burn up to 2,000 calories.

Here’s the rub for most: About two-thirds of golf in the U.S. is played in motorized carts.How can that be healthy?

Here’s another fact.

Even golfers using a motorized cart can burn about 1,300 calories and walk 2 miles when playing 18 holes.

Another reason:

Carts can help older people and others unable to walk long distances keep playing the game.

“I started playing when I was 9 years old,” said a local golfer. And over his lifetime, he says, he’s played a lot of sports. But after two hip replacement surgeries and operations on his knees, “it’s one of the few things I can still do.” His love for the game, is that “it’s the one sport you can plan to play the rest of your life.”

Lastly

There’s also a mental boost for lots of players. There’s rarely a bad day on the golf course,You’re breathing good air and looking around at the nice scenery.

And this stress-relieving benefit, people tell us, is one of their top motivations for staying in the game. Everyone should give it a try.

The Sunset Membership is a great way to stay fit and play better golf.
