Golf is a great game for those of us walking up the 17th hole of life.
Try not to fall into the temptation of using a golf cart and walk the course instead.
Walking is one of the best low-impact cardiovascular exercises for seniors. It's easy on the joints, burns calories, and builds muscle and bone density.
Just play nine holes if you are not able to do much walking.
Golf is a beneficial activity especially for those of us who are finding it harder to get out of bed.
Swinging a golf club helps with balance, strength and flexibility.
Added training exercises can not only improve your golf game, but they also help prevent injury. Common problem areas for seniors playing golf are ankles, hips and shoulders.
Continuously stretching muscles that work hard during a golf game, like your legs and back will help.
Exercising the muscles you use in your golf game can be beneficial at any age, and seniors are no exception.
While there are many older people that are in great shape, in general, endurance, strength, balance and flexibility tend to decrease as we age, so golf exercises that focus on improving those issues are particularly beneficial.
Out of Bounds: Some golfers cause happiness wherever they go, others whenever they go.
