The four "F"s of golf: Fitness, fresh air, friendship & fun

Fitness
Studies show that golfers live longer and there are numerous health benefits for those who play the game. Based on data from 300,000 Swedish golfers, the death rate amongst golfers is 40 percent lower than the rest of the population, which equates to an increased life expectancy of five years.

Strength, flexibility and balance all come into play for golfers, making golf a sport that can contribute to ones fitness and physical well being throughout life.

Fresh Air
Golf gets you outdoors, and takes you to some of the most breathtakingly beautiful sights in the world. Golf courses offer an oasis of green and welcome retreat from concrete. Where ever you play, nature will surround you with birds, flowers, trees and wildlife sharing your journey over 18 holes.

Friendship
One of golf’s greatest benefits is how it helps you relate and connect to other people. Golf affords a uniquely valuable opportunity to spend four hours of uninterrupted time with someone. It enables you to really get to know your playing partners.

It’s undeniably an invaluable business tool yet the relationship building aspect of golf isn’t limited to just business colleagues and clients. If you want to spend more time with your family, then make golf a family affair. And because it is a lifetime sport, several generations can play together.

Fun
The final “F” is fun which is the result when you combine fitness, fresh air and friendship.
