     Golf is one of the favorite leisure sports and provides many health benefits. If when playing golf you choose not to ride a cart and decide to walk instead, your legs will get a significant amount of exercise burning many calories in the process. Constant exposure to the green areas also relaxes the body, relieves stress, and can alleviate anxiety. Playing out in the sun also provides the body with vitamin D.  Golf is a social and fun way to spend the day. It allows you to interact with your fellow golfers, ultimately strengthening the relationship with each other. You do not see many injuries that occur when playing golf because it is not a contact sport, yet there is plenty of movement to physically challenge you. Golf is one of the most popular sports today, bit it does puts your body to the test.

Nothing like a day on the links!

     The modern game originated in Scotland, where the first written record of golf is James II's banning of the game in 1457, as an unwelcome distraction to learning archery. James IV lifted the ban in 1502 when he became a golfer himself, with golf clubs first recorded in 1503-1504: "For golf clubbes and balles to the King that he playit with". To many golfers, the Old Course at St Andrews, a links course dating to before 1574, is considered to be a site of pilgrimage. In 1764, the standard 18-hole golf course was created at St Andrews when members modified the course from 22 to 18 holes. Golf is documented as being played on Musselburgh Links, East Lothian, Scotland as early as 2 March 1672, which is certified as the oldest golf course in the world by Guinness World Records. The oldest surviving rules of golf were compiled in March 1744 for the Company of Gentlemen Golfers, later renamed The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, which was played at Leith, Scotland. The world's oldest golf tournament in existence, and golf's first major, is The Open Championship, which was first played on 17 October 1860 at Prestwick Golf Club, in Ayrshire, Scotland, with Scottish golfers winning the earliest majors. Two Scotsmen from Dunfermline, John Reid and Robert Lockhart, first demonstrated golf in the US by setting up a hole in an orchard in 1888, with Reid setting up America's first golf club the same year, St. Andrews Golf Club in Yonkers, New York.
