Golf is Good for My Soul
Do you find the time each week to do something good for yourself or be with a group of people who share the same interest?
A group where you can laugh and have a wonderful time? Whether it is playing cards or joining a group fitness activity being socially active as we get older is probably the most important thing you can do for yourself.
I take a day off from my social media and interior design business every Wednesday to play a sport that I’m terrible at, but these women do not care.
Playing 9 holes of golf with women over 50 is so much fun for me. Because golf is good for my soul and my health.
adidas sponsors this post. However, all opinions are my own.
I play golf because of the laughter, camaraderie, and friendship I have found sitting on a golf cart while I whack a little white ball all over vast acres of grassland, through trees, and try not to play in the sandboxes. We call that going to the beach. I have decided at this stage in my life to enjoy spending as much time golfing with my girlfriends rather than playing competitively as an eighteen-holer. Those women take their golf very seriously.
Golf’s Three Ugliest Words: Still Your Shot.
My Golf Outfit
The upside to my newfound sport is my closet is full of cute golf clothes. I wear golf clothes running errands and I wear skirts now instead of shorts in the summer.
The floral Polo shirt is from adidas. Have you noticed my new adidas golf shoes? They have orange stripes and now I am purchasing golf clothes to match the stripes! Stupid, but I love orange for my boys who went to Florida and Clemson. Both have orange in their school colors. Another silly fact. Oh well.
I prefer long golf skirts because I am very self-conscious about the veins I have on my legs. This white golf skort is from Chico’s. It’s a great length for me.
It is a policy of most country clubs that cell phones stay silent or outta sight. Golf course etiquette.
I wish restaurants and churches had the same policy.
Did you know you will actually lose weight golfing if you do it twice a week?
Just because you’re walking behind a little ball doesn’t mean you’re not exercising. You will walk over 10,000 steps if you play 18 holes.
I lose 3 pounds in a week playing in the hot Atlanta weather.
Think about it.
Friendship, weight loss, and cute clothes. A truly winning combination!!
