Playing golf extends your life

Playing golf is very good for your health and can extend your life with up to five years. This is the conclusion of a study done by the Karolinska Institute among 300.000 people.

An average round of eighteen holes takes about 4 to 5 hours. You walk almost seven kilometers in that time. Golfing is so healthy, because you get lots of exercise and fresh air.

Golf players have less chance of dying. Lower educated people benefit most from playing golf. Also the best players are most often the healthiest.

Playing golf is also good for your social network, which also has a positive effect on your health. The most beneficial is to be in a happy relationship in which your partner supports you playing golf.
