There is an interesting article in this month's Men's Fitness magazine dealing with exercise and golf. According to the article any consistent exercise is good for you...even golf...according to new data out of the U. of Edinburgh, in Scotland, where golf was born back in the 1400s. The study, the largest and most systematic review ever done, found that golfers live longer than non-golfers and are in better health overall. Author Andrew Murray, M.D. says "Golf is a great choice for longevity, physical, and mental benefits - you can play it from age 3 to 103." Murray says just ditch the cart and carry your clubs. An 18-hole round can burn 1,200 calories, compared with 600 for cart jockeys.
