Golfing

 My family and I recently went to Rustic Canyon Golf Course to get in a couple swings for some exercise . I went thinking I wouldn't be able to hit that many golf balls, and would end up just sitting and watching. To my excitement I was able to get lots of hits in and participate with the family. I found out what a beneficial and difficult activity it is. Most people think, my self included, that golf isn't that hard and its not much of a workout. Surprisingly, I was feeling soar the next day. This lead me to do some research on the sport. I found that it is a game of hand eye coordination, endurance, a mental exercise, core work out, and stress relieving. Also, if you choose to play a full game of 18 holes, and walk the course carrying your heavy bags, it is good for cardiovascular function as well as stimulating the brains memory pathways. It is a 90% mental and 10% physical sport. Making it a great way to get outside and be with nature. The twisting motion through the waist is a great aerobic exercise that aids in weight loss.  For me this was such a great sport because, it helped my balance. Trying to keep myself up right, while swinging through my torso, and trying to hit a small golf ball was a really good way to work on my balance. Having good balance allows you to have control of the club offering consistent and further shots. Golf  is a game that doesn't require any vigorous activity which makes it great for people of all ages to enjoy. Golf is definitely an activity I would do again to get in some exercise and help rebuild pathways. Remember to get outside and stay active that persistence is all.
