According to a study published in the British Journal of
Sports Medicine, golf provides a number of physical
and mental benefits for individuals of all genders,
backgrounds, and ages. Reviewing more than 5,000
studies into golf, researchers from the University of
Edinburgh assert there were improvements in muscle
endurance and balance among older people who took
up the sport.

3.  Golf also likely improves metabolic,
respiratory, and cardiovascular health. Playing
the sport could help individuals who are
experiencing chronic diseases such as type 2
diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and colon and
breast cancer. Researchers found playing golf
lowered the risk of depression, dementia, and
anxiety. The study also suggests that people
who golf have longer lifespans.
