Play for the Rest of Your Life

 

Golf- The Sport You Can Play the Rest of Your Life.

Golf, unlike many sports, does not take as much physical exertion as something like soccer or football. Golf is a slow paced game that requires "pin" point accuracy. It’s a game of knowledge and precision rather than power and strength. For example, football is a very physically demanding sport that requires your best physical stamina and pushes that to its limits. The oldest football player on the NFL right know is 41 years of age. The oldest golfer was 77 years of age. Golf is a sport of form and technique and, more often than not, the ones with a better technique hit the ball farther than the ones who swing faster. Golf is a sport that you can play no matter your age and still be able to compete and have a good time on the course. When I go golfing I will see guys older than my grandpa out there hitting the ball just as far as I do.

Football, soccer, baseball and nearly every other sport require you to be in your prime to be able to play and compete. Not to mention the countless number of injuries that come from the physical sports. The injuries acquired while playing also deteriorate your body leaving you not as capable to do play other sports. Golf is not physical in the least bit (Unless you make it). Golf is a sport you can play well into your life and still be good at it. It’s also a great way to enjoy nature and relieve stress. I definitely suggest taking this sport up.
