Looking around and searching through golf web sites I found an article that brings nothing but good news for those practicing the sport.
A study made of a sample of 300.000 people by the Karolinska Institute in Switzerland shows that people who play golf are more lean to live more than those who doesn't, this is just another good reason to take into account golf as the best sport to play!
The study consider the fact that during a round of golf, players walk during periods up to 5 hours and during this time besides walking many kilometers and trying nothing but get birdies and pars people keep socializing, this are the reasons that make the sport a very healthy one.
Another interesting fact is that those with low handicaps show longer life rates than those with high handicaps isn't it great!!!!!! I don't know what people may thing about this but for me this is nothing but a major reason (or excuse) to find more time and opportunities to play.
