The Walker Research Group

published a report on the health benefits of golfing which might surprise you. 

 

Have you ever asked yourself how how far you just walked or how many calories you burned during that last round of golf? 

 

  • Walking 18-holes, carrying a bag or using a hand/pull cart, is approximately equal to a 5-mile walk.
  • You burn approximately 2,000 calories when walking 18 holes while carrying your clubs.  Don't want to carry your clubs?  That's OK you still burn 1,300 calories when riding in a cart for 18 holes.
  • When walking 18-holes of golf, blood glucose levels fall by up to 20% for the young, 10% for the middle-aged, and 30% for the elderly players, and body weight is slightly reduced among all age ranges.
  • Repeated rounds of golf as well as practicing enhances balance control and confidence among all age ranges.
  • No matter your handicap, gender or course played, golfers exceed 10,000 steps during a typical round of golf - which meets the daily guideline for exercise recommended by most medical and clinical physicians.

Is this the Model? Its got its own ELEVATOR, it must be, right? Light and bright, corner unit, professionally decorated, southern rear exposure, lake view, exquisite furnishings and spotlessly clean, this has got to be the model, isn't it?! Built in 2011, but looks like it was completed yesterday, only used 6 weeks since completion. This brilliant second floor coach home comes with custom window treatments, textured faux paint in kitchen, crown molding, granite counters, stainless appliances, upgraded fixtures, glass shower in the master, huge guest suite, tiled lanai, walk in closets, soaring ceilings, tile on the diagonal, laundry room and more. This one you really need to see, pictures and words do not do it justice!

GOLF TIP

Get the ball rolling  

for a good round.

 

If you watch the PGA Tour players putt, you will notice that their putts start rolling right at impact.  Most players will start their putts with a bounce and a few hops before the ball starts to roll.  To make your putts hug the green, you need to have a little shaft lean.  Just before you start your backstroke, make a little forward press by moving your hands forward a fraction toward the hole.  Keep that position and you will have the putter face leaning or titling with the top edge ahead of the bottom.  This will give you a putt that starts on line without any bounces.  View more tips
