How many of the new year’s resolutions about shaping up and staying fit have been procrastinated? If you made one early this year but haven’t started your fitness regime yet, here’s one low-impact sport that is great for both physical and mental health – golf.

Physically, golf is a club-and-ball sport that requires a lot of walking which brings benefits to the heart. When you play, it gets your circulation going by exercising your heart and keeps the heart rate up. Mentally, golf is about accuracy and concentration that keeps your brain sharp. Hand-eye coordination is also important in golf while repeated swings improve muscle memory and body balance.

Although it is a low-impact sport, low back injury is the most common type due to the dynamic, repeated swing of the body. As an amateur, it’s always recommendable to learn from a professional coach to avoid getting hurt and starting right from the beginning.
