Why You Should Pickup Golf

A quarantine activity I have picked up over the past year is golf. Growing up, I thought golf was such a boring sport and I never understood why people enjoyed it. However, now I do. Here are five reasons why I think golf is a great sport to know how to play.

1. You can play it when you’re older

Golf is not a high intensity sport. Therefore, it is a good sport to pick up when you’re not in as good of shape to run up and down a court anymore!

2. It is a great way to spend a day in the sun with family or friends

Golf is a great way to spend time and bond with family members over the sport. In addition, it is an activity that you and your friends can pick up in order to do something different than what you normally do.

3. It is not an intense sport, a way to relax and get outside

Another reason why golf is a great sport is that you can relax and release any stress you have while you’re playing. If you want you can listen to soft music and drink a cold beverage of your choice.

4. Improve business relationships

If you end up working in an industry like sales, golf could be a great way to interact and communicate with clients to improve client relationships. It could get you a deal!

5. To challenge yourself

Golf is definitely a sport that you have to be patient when you’re playing. It took me a lot of whiffs and lost balls until I got the hang of it. I still mess up now and so does everyone else I play with because that is just the name of the game.
