Why play golf? Hopefully, you’ll play it because you have a lot of fun doing so. However, there are some other benefits to the sport you might not have thought of at first glance.
First, golf can be a great way to network and form friendships. The pace of the game lends itself to conversation and friendly rivalry. A lot of business people and professionals who play golf use the time spent on the course as an informal ‘meeting’, trading ideas and making deals.
Second, learning golf can help you become a better athlete all-around, even if you mostly prefer faster-paced ‘contact’ sports. Why? Because to play golf well, you actually have to be in good shape both mentally and physically.
A good execution of swing technique requires you to judge distance accurately, correlate that distance with the amount of force to apply, then integrate your brain’s visualization with your body’s action! That’s a skill you can use in any sport.
