This is the weekend when all of your hours on the golf simulator will pay off.
After a pretty miserable and slow start to the Spring and Summer of 2020, you are thrilled that you have a three golf day weekend planned. Leaving the office early on Friday you are going to join a friend and his two sons on what is arguably one of the most scenic courses in the area. And given that it is also one of the most challenging as well, you are excited to see if the work with a local coach and the latest high definition golf simulators will pay off.
That Friday afternoon outing is going to be followed by a Saturday round of golf with your brother and nephews. The fact that you get to play two days in a row at the same course, you hope, means that you will really be able to show some improvement in your game. On Sunday, you are going to golf again with your friend from Friday, but two other friends you have not seen in awhile will be joining you. After weekends of cancelled graduation parties, family vacations, and other events, you are looking forward to a weekend that will have you out and about.
Home Golf Simulators Provide Practice Time Year Round
If you live in a part of the country, like most people do, when the weather prevents you from getting out on the course, it is important to note that you might need to find ways to keep your game sharp during those colder months. With the advancement of the best golf simulators, however, many golfers find that they are not only able to work on their driving skills, but also access software that can analyze their current swings and make observations about changes that might help. And using these skills on a home golf simulator means that you can practice and perfect new techniques without an audience.
And even if you are not a competitive person who his seeking the lowest score, the game of golf itself offers a number of advantage. First off, golf require you to be active. And if you are someone who is willing to walk you can get plenty of steps in while taking in scenery in every state in the country. Unfortunately, the latest research indicates that fewer than 5% of adults participate in 30 minutes of physical activity each day. This translates into the fact that only one in three adults receive the recommended amount of physical activity each week. This level of inactivity leads to a nation that is placed by chronic health conditions that not only cost individual lives, but also an increasingly high amount of expense to the nation as a whole. The decision to take up a sport like golf is an invitation to regularly get outside, enjoy fresh air, and participate in an activity that will keep you moving.
In addition to the personal advantage that golf has to offer its participants, it is a sport that also benefits non participants as well. In fact, as a whole, golf generates more than $3.9 billion in charitable giving every year. And if you are someone who loves to watch sports, you may have noticed that even during this summer of Covid-19, professional golfers are able to still entertain while donating profits to many major nonprofits. And while these golfers are obviously missing the life fans who would normally be lining the course, the fact that they are still able to compete and generate funds for their sport and their sponsors means that they are only a few of the professional athletes today who are able to enjoy at least some kind of normalcy.
Whether this is the first time all summer that you are able to even get out on a par nine course with your spouse and children or you have a three day weekend planned with tee times Friday through Sunday, if you are able to get out on the links then you are sure to have a great time. Even a less than stellar round of golf is better than another weekend stuck at home.
