10 reasons people do play golf.
- Exercise: Of course it’s only exercise if you walk the course.
- Friendship: Golf is good for hanging out with friends – you can chat for hours. Related to this is golf is a popular game for spouses to do together.
- Nature: Yes, golf courses are manicured, but they are outside and there are trees (usually). It’s a great way to be outside.
- Challenging: Many people find the mix of physical precision and mental acuity fun.
- Business networking: Golf is renowned for business deal-making.
- Relaxing: There’s nothing like a couple-hour stroll in the grass for relaxation. One can even turn a round of golf into a meditative activity.
- Solitude: Some people love to shoot a round of golf on their own – a way to get away from it all.
- Vacation destinations: Avid golfers have it easy choosing vacations – go where the great courses are. Centering vacations around golf give vacations a bit of purpose and something to do.
- Life-long game: You can play golf well into old age. You don’t need to be spry, strong, and fast. Golf is for all ages.
- It’s fun: Some people just love everything about golf – especially the thrill of well-made shots. One great shot per round is worth it all for many golfers.
There you have it – not an exhaustive list for sure, but I bet most golfers if asked why they play, they’ll answer at least 1 of the above.
