Golf is a game of concentration and strategy. The fittest or healthiest person doesn't necessarily always win. Walking while pulling a golf cart or carrying your golf bag can help burn calories and build up your stamina. Unfortunately, golf is an expensive sport. You'll need good clubs to play well.
New clubs range from one hundred to several thousands dollars, depending on brand.
We recommend buying used clubs in good condition if you're new to the game. Scan the local newspaper for sales at a sporting goods store that specialize in golf accessories. You'll also need a golf bag, golf gloves, golf shoes, golf balls and tees. The good news is you don't have to shell out lots of money all the time to practice. In future columns we'll demonstrate strengthening exercises to improve your golf swing.
