Golf Is Healthy Exercise for Seniors, Study Confirms

Shhhh! According to a certain poster here (who obviously knows better), it's not exercise, at all!

Walking 9 a day!

Can be. We always walk, spending a buck for a push-cart and enjoying the scenery as well as the game.

And will provide a hundred word essay as to why…………:1rotfl:

Wont see it #blocked

For those that won't take the time to read the article:

“The results of this study are meant to encourage older adults to spend more time on the golf course and play by walking,”

I considered noting that in my highlights, but decided it would provoke too much blow-back. :laugh:

Only a hundred? We should be so lucky...

I will be showing this article to my primary care doctor, who does not believe that Golf is exercise.������

Providing you walk the course!

You need some qualifiers on your Dr's opinion. If you walk, either using a pushcart or carry bag, it is exercise, unless your primary care Dr. doesn't believe walking is a form of exercise. If you ride in a golf cart then he/she may have a point.
