Some interesting thoughts about golf being dangerous! It really can be, the amount of times we have seen people that have been hit with golf balls, run golf carts into trees, lakes, bunkers or walked into a golf club while someone is swinging it is not a pretty site after connection.

I have never golfed, ever. I want to one day. I cant speak as to how strenuous it is, but it looks like it can take a toll on you.

I agree and think health conscious people should not use golf carts because walking is a great form of light exercise especially for older people (perhaps maybe their only form of exercise?) If they are struggling to carry their equipment around the golf course, there are other alternatives available such as golf push carts.

Hey Dr. Kal!

I agree with you an almost everything! I do consider golf a sport and am an avid player! I agree that people shouldn’t use golf carts at the course, walking is healthy and the views and sceneries are always nice on the golf courses… you can enjoy them more by walking and you have the exercise benefits!

Good article!

I know someone who broke their hand playing golf, so I guess it is a dangerous sport!

FMU — you need to get thee to a driving range… nothing is more fun (a better stress reliever) that crushing that little white ball… And the driving range will likely loan you a club too…

Once you play a little at range (3 times) get a lesson… Now you are on your way…

The best part is once you get decent you learn that calm focused smooth energy is way more powerful than furious anger…

(think about powercleans done the right way vs the wrong way. With golf the difference is as dramatic AND as addicting.)

I have been walking 2.4 miles a day for 5 days a week, takes me about 45 minutes as I stroll around thinking. I love it and when I am done, I am drenched in sweat.

Walking is waaay more satisfying that riding a cart anyway…sure the thrill of flooring the pedals is entertaining for the first few holes, but after you realize the negative impact of the restraining belt, you’d rather walk anyway; besides, how much better does that beer taste in the clubhouse after you’ve walked the entire course. Now THAT is gratification. Thanks for the tips.

I have golfed basically my entire life, and I have seen multiple golf cart related injuries. Walking the golf course is much better than using a cart. I can attest to needing to drink lots of water, and eating enough. When I was younger I would play in tournaments, and I would have a very hard time on the back 9 because I would not eat enough. I started to bring fruits and nuts so I that I would eat enough, and so I didn’t have to eat the unhealthy club house food.

Prior to hurting my ankle walking the local hilly golf course was one of my forms of exercises that I went out of my way to engage in… (motivation is key for me)…

running at the park with my kids is not something I even cosidered exercise. I guess that means I find it even more fun than golf…

I think Dr. Kal is right about one thing…. Riding around the course in a cart drinking 6-12 beers and mowing a cheese burger and fries or fish in chips is hardly good for your wasitline…

I don’t think he meant it that way. I think he meant that it’s like one of those things you do that you enjoy, and happen to get the benefit of exercise from. For instance, going to the park with your kids and running around. Thats exercise but I don’t consider it exercise(not part of my routine that is).

Make sense?

Am I on track with what you meant Dr. Kal?

With the average golf course being 6000 yards (aka 3.4 miles) not including shots hit offline or distance between tees and carrying your golf bag… How could this not be exercise?

yeah that’s right. But it is important to still walk or run (or some impact sport) as you get older otherwise there is risk of losing bone density and strength. That said, I am a massive fan of cycling!

It’s also easier on your joints and knees.
