Celebration Golf Month May 2021
Aaah golf, the sport of old rich people who have the time to spend hours upon hours on the rolling green hills of a golf course, following a tiny white speck.
Many of us who have never even attempted to play golf are sure we wouldn 19t like it simply because of the people that are most often seen playing it don 19t seem to be the most exciting of individuals. But those of us who have tried see this pretty differently, so join us this Golf Month as we show you how much fun this sport can be!
The History of Golf Month
The modern game of golf originated in 15th-century Scotland, but the game 19s ancient origins can be traced back to the Roman game of paganica, in which participants used a bent stick to hit a stuffed leather ball. Some historians assert that paganica spread throughout Europe as the Romans conquered most of the continent almost 2,000 years ago, and eventually evolved into the modern game.
Other historians believe that chuiwan a Chinese game played between the eighth and 14th centuries, was the father of modern golf as we know it. A Ming Dynasty scroll dating back to 1368 entitled 1CThe Autumn Banquet 1D shows a member of the Chinese Imperial court swinging what appears to be a golf club at a small ball with the aim of sinking it into a hole and would thus seem to support this version of history.
Golf Month was created just recently to encourage people who may not think they would like golf to give it a try and benefit from all this sport has to offer.
How to Celebrate Golf Month
The best way to celebrate Golf Month is to get out and play some golf! If you 19re someone who already plays golf, maybe try getting some friends or family members who have never tried to join you for a few hours on the course. And if you 19ve never tried, it 19s the perfect time to! You 19ve tried scuba diving and paragliding, and you 19ve even learned to play chess 26so why not golf?
If you 19re still on the fence, consider some of the ways playing golf can be good for your health:
Playing golf gets you outdoors and keeps you there. Be honest, how much time do you really spend outside? Seeing as how most jobs are stuffy office jobs these days, we assume your answer to this question is, 1CNot to much 1D. A game of golf is guaranteed to keep you outdoors and breathing in that fresh air for approximately 4 hours!
Golfing burns plenty of calories. Surprised? You shouldn 19t be. The average golf player walks between 5 and 7 kilometers during one game, which burns about 1,000 calories. And all without breaking a sweat!
Golf has been proven to reduce stress levels. Thanks to the hours spent either almost alone or conversing with fellow players on a wonderfully green backdrop, golfers tend to be relaxed and more ready to face stress and challenges than players of other sports.
And as if all this is not enough, consider this: countless famous actors, singers and other celebrities adore golf, including Snoop Dogg, Bill Murray, Alice Cooper and Justin Timberlake, so chances are you may even meet one of them on the course one day. So what are you waiting for? Get celebrating Golf Month today!
