Whilst we have all at some point wondered what on earth the point of golf was to ourselves, we have also just as curiously pondered on what it would be like to have a shot at it. The fact that the game is a rather prestigious one does not necessarily make it a sport that can be indulged in by anyone and everyone, making things a bit trickier. However, just because you do not play golf like Woods himself, it does not mean you cannot have a go every now and then when time (and money!) permits it. And once that is taken care of, there is also the little matter of learning the rules and techniques, which is a whole other ball game altogether. All in all though, as it turns out, golf is a great game to get into, and here is why.

Mentally and Physically Refreshing

There is just something irresistible about golf courses that make you just stand still and take a deep gulp of fresh air before anything else. The expansive, immaculately manicured lawns are enough to make anyone want to rush in without really thinking about it. While yes, there are others sports that take you out into the great wide outdoors, golf is in a league of its own. Plus, modern day golf courses have come a long way and incorporate plenty of creativity as well. They no longer have to be pristine green courses. They could also resemble a beach, forest and more. The choice is yours!

Moderate Exercise

Golf is not the sort of game if you want to lose a ton of weight or are looking to beef up. It does, however, offer moderate exercise, especially since you have a lot of walking about to do on the course. Stretching and light activities are what it is typically known for, but nothing too drastic like, say, lifting weights for instance. If that is your goal, then you are looking for something completely different. Quite frankly, so long as you love the sport, you will just completely enjoy it and this is no different from golf. If you are signing up for professional training such as golf lessons Melbourne for instance, you will be able to know exactly what sort of workouts you can expect.

Fun for Anyone

No matter what age you are (unless you are too little to actually hold the club), golf is a sport that can be played and enjoyed by anyone. It is not particularly strenuous or stressful, although it does require you have at least moderate vision to help you aim better! That said, you do not really need much else except a hold on the techniques which will help you with your shots. Starting kids young helps them get the concept of golf much easier, so if you are heading out there, definitely take your brood with you if they like to come along. Besides, they have plenty of room to run about in if they get bored!

Challenge Yourself

As deceiving as golf can be in that it may seem to be effortless, it actually requires a lot of concentration and effort; especially when starting out. It does take some experience and training to be able to hit those holes far away with minimal hassle, and for that, you should practice, practice and practice some more. Golf certainly challenges you, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Many pro golfers talk about how effective the sport is for character building, which is very true. So go on then, give it a try!
