Golf Adds Five Years to Your Life…
Two important caveats: First, this assumes that golfers walk — not ride in carts / buggies. So, a note to my American friends: get walking. (And, by the way, if you walk, you’ll actually finish your round faster than if you ride.)
Second, this does not take into account stress, heart attacks, stroke or other conditions brought on by missing four foot putts or shanking crucial approach shots into greenside lakes. After taking this into account, the researchers discovered that golf actually took twelve years off the average player’s lifespan.
Oh well.
