Enjoy a Golf Holiday

Fancy a change of scene on the first tee? Looking for a new challenge – or maybe some relaxing golf? Whatever form of golf you want, golf holidays are the answer.

Golf holidays need not be expensive. You do not need to go to the Caribbean to get a good golf holiday. In fact, I recommend staying in your time zone,as the travel will be less stressful, and you will not waste time overcoming jet lag. A time difference of one or two hours is OK, so if you are in the UK, you have the whole of Europe as far east as Greece at your disposal – aid if you are in Germany, you can go further.

Where are the best places for golf holidays? You can’t beat Ireland and Scotland for quality of golf and the number of course you can play. Many of the Scottish courses are used for championships, and so are quite expensive, but there are many other courses that are well worth playing at low cost. This includes some of the public courses operated by Edinburgh Leisure, such as Braid Hills, which is short, but a good test of golf.

In the same area is Kilspindie, which is a lovely links course which is also quite short. For a more demanding and more expensive challenge on your golf holiday you can play Gullane No.1, 2 or 3 or Longniddry. All very good.

In Ireland there are hundreds of courses, and almost all are open to all visitors – some of the swankier clubs in Scotland want a certificate of your handicap. You can tour Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland and enjoy great golf.

In England, too, there are many championship courses, suitable for a golf holiday. Many of which will be familiar to you if you have seen the British Open or the Ryder Cup on television. These include The Belfry, which is a very difficult parkland course,Royal Lytham and St Annes, Royal Birkdale, Royal St Georges and Wentworth. Not so well-known but equally challenging are Deal and Rye in the south-east, The Berkshire, Sunningdale, Moretonhampstead in Devon, Royal Ashdown Forest.

Ireland also has a huge number of great golf courses, and there are also some good courses in the south of Spain. Of course, California has some terrific courses, and so does Australia, so when you plan your golf holiday, the world really is your oyster!

But seriously the sport of golf can be highly beneficial to your well being. Walking is the easiest form of exercise; it stimulates the heart and circulates the blood. All medical practitioners agree that fresh air, exercise and a relaxed body and mind can do wonders for lowering blood pressure plus the bonus of decreasing cholesterol.

Researchers carried out a study, looking at the differences between walking the course and riding the golf carts. Those golfers who walked were found to have significantly improved their body’s health. Today’s modern golf course can extend in length to between three to four miles and the average player will spend up to 4 hours playing 18 holes.

In the study those players who rode around the course did not show any changes to their overall health conditions.

A round of golf has been compared to spending 45 minutes in the gym, if the golfer walks the course this can be equalled to a high level of fitness in an aerobics session.

However, having compared the health benefits to that of an indoor gym session, there is nothing that can compete with the experience of an outdoor sport. Play when the sun is warming, you will find your senses are heightened to the beauty of the lush green grass, this is definitely one easy way to lower any stress levels you may be under.

Golf can break down barriers, everyone is equal; it all comes down to how you play. The golf course is an excellent place to meet and make new friends, especially if you are walking the course. Never forget either many business dealings are handled during a round of golf. Your career prospects can certainly take a boost by playing with the boss, note: sometimes it is advantageous to take a few extra strokes on a couple of holes!

Your round of golf, regardless of whom you are playing with, promotes peace, tranquillity and a stress free environment. This can only be highly beneficial to your overall health. Surprisingly studies found that your body’s well being is not affected by the outcome of the result in your golf score. Just playing the sport is enough to aid your physical condition.

Many courses nowadays are encouraging golfers to walk; the damage done to the fairways by the golf carts can take a very long time to heal. So for the health of your golf course and your own, try walking round. You may be very surprised at the results.
