IF YOU NEEDED another excuse to grab your clubs and head for the green, consider this it. Research out of the University of Missouri has concluded that golf is a sure-fire way to reduce your stress levels.
The reasons for this are threefold: not only does being outside on the links help lower your levels of cortisol (a hormone that controls blood pressure), it’s also a cardiovascular activity (just think of all that walking.) Lastly? Golf is incredibly social, with previous studies showing that healthy relationships have a significant impact on both physical and mental health.
So, there you have it. Catch you in the clubhouse later?
