5 Reasons You Should Play Golf Even if You Know Nothing About it

There are many reasons why you should play golf but why is that so?

I’ve recently picked up the sport/hobby and now I know why it’s one of the best hobbies for dads.

You hit a small ball into an open field, try to make it land on a green area, and then you try and make the ball into a small hole.

What could be more fun than that?

That doesn’t sound like the most exciting thing to do, but believe me when I say that golf is a lot better than you think.

If you are on the fence about picking up the sport, let these reasons will help you decide.

Here are the best reasons why you should play golf.

1. Be One With Nature

There’s no better feeling than being out on the golf course.

It’s one of the most beautiful places you will ever see, and its beauty will leave your jaw on the floor.

Whenever I find myself at a golf course (even those that aren’t that pretty), I can not help but sit there and soak in the beauty that comes with a golf course.

The way the trees surround everything, the way the grass is well-kept, and just the overall appearance of a golf course are amazing.

If there is one reason you should play golf, this is it.

2. Golf Will Humble You

I know, men in general tend to be cocky, and being humble is the last thing they want to be.

They want to show how strong they are and whatever other reasons some men act the way they do.

Now, there aren’t many things that can humble a man and the only thing I can think of is golf.

You’ll have Mr. Macho Man get up there thinking he’s going to rip the cover off the ball.

It’s not going to happen.

Golf is one thing in life where you will learn to be humble almost immediately.

Either that or you quit.

3. Golf is Fun

Although golf is one of the most challenging things you will ever do in your life, it does not mean it isn’t fun.

I can have the worst golf outing, but if I hit one good shot, I’m cool.

Being out there on the course and challenging myself is fun and my score wouldn’t matter.

If you want to have some fun, why not add golf to your staycation?

There’s a lot to enjoy about golf and you won’t know unless you give it a try.

4. Great For Your Health

Being on the course is great for your health.

It clears your mind from the natural stress we deal with on a daily basis.

If you work long hours and you don’t like your job, you will see how you can forget about everything when you’re on the golf course.

Either you’re enjoying the game and nature, or you’re getting pissed off because you can’t find your ball.

Either way, golf will benefit your overall health.

5. Exercise

What better way to get exercise than through something you enjoy?

Remember those times when you don’t know why you’re body is sore?

That’s what will happen when you play golf.

Golf will give you exercise, even if you don’t feel like you did anything.

As a dad in my 40s, it’s only best that I play golf, as keeping up with the youngins on a football field isn’t as easy as it used to be.
