3 NOTABLE HEALTH BENEFITS
OF A ROUND OF GOLF
Playing a round of golf is a great
way to spend a morning, afternoon
or early evening. That’s
particularly true when the weather is
warm and a golf course is soaked in
sunshine and cooled down by warm
breezes whistling through the surrounding
trees.
Though many see golf as recreation,
the sport can offer some notable
health benefi ts. The Royal and Ancient
Golf Club of St. Andrews, which
was founded in 1754 and has since
grown from a small club to one with
2,500 members across the globe, published
a golf and health report in 2020.
That report highlights research indicating
the ways golf promotes both
mental and physical health, and such
evidence can make anyone feel better
about spending a day on their nearest
course. With that in mind, individuals
can consider these three notable health
benefi ts of playing golf the next time
they’re thinking about visiting their
local course.

their short game may suggest otherwise,
but a study published in the
Scandinavian Journal of Medicine
and Science and Sports discovered
a 40 percent reduction in mortality
rates among 300,000 members of
the Swedish Golf Federation. That
corresponded to an increased life
expectancy of roughly fi ve years and
applied to golfers of all ages, genders
and socio-economic backgrounds.
2.Golf can help combat disease.
A summary of fi ndings conducted by
researchers at the University of Edinburgh
and published in the British
Journal of Sports Medicine in 2016
found that golf can help prevent and
treat 40 major chronic diseases, including
diabetes, heart attack, stroke,
depression, dementia, and cancers of
the breast and colon. That link probably
has something to do with golf
being a physical activity that encourages
people to embrace a less sedentary
lifestyle. Indeed, the R&A notes
that additional studies have found
that risk factors for heart disease and
stroke, including high blood pressure,
are reduced among people who play
golf.
3. Golf promotes social interaction.
The Alzheimer’s Society reports that
social isolation can increase a person’s
risk for dementia by roughly 60
percent. People who play golf tend
to play in groups of two, three or
four, and that social interaction can
promote social interaction among people
of all ages. Social isolation also
has been linked to additional mental
health issues, including anxiety and
depression, so activities like golf that
encourage social interaction can help
people safeguard their mental health.
