Golf is a sport played in 206 countries worldwide by over 50 million people. It is possible that participation in golf, which is a form of physical activity, may be associated with effects on longevity, the cardiovascular, metabolic, and musculoskeletal systems, as well as on mental health and well-being. So, in addition to having fun and making friends, we are actually working on our health.
