]]> Golf, for all intents and purposes, is considered a sport. If you turn on ESPN, you’ll see golf highlights. If you turn on the ESPYs, you may see the great golf legend Tiger Woods winning an award. Yes, golf is a sport, even if it may not seem that way. After all, they’re not exactly straining themselves much, are they? They’ve got their comfy polo shirts, their visor caps, and their slacks. So, the real question that should be asked is: while golf is a sport, can it be considered exercise?

A Lot of Walking

The simple answer is that yes, golf does involve a certain degree of exercise. First off, it involves a great degree of walking. If you’ve ever gone to a serious golfing range, you may have found yourself walking a lot from one hole to another. Sure, sometimes you have a golf cart, but this isn’t always the case.

Strength Training

It’s also very important to note the strength training that’s required if you want to be a serious golfer. In order to hit those golf balls with force and control, you need to be pretty darn strong. Sure, it’s no football, but it’s also not your couch in the basement either. In order to be a golfer, you need to be in shape. So, while the act of golfing itself isn’t such an act of exercise, it’s crucial that you exercise in order to play golf.

Every golf enthusiast knows that a good resort is critical to the golf experience. For your convenience, we’ve assembled some of the most beautiful resorts and golf clubs in the world. Take a look!

Pine Valley Golf Club

Pine Valley, located in Clementon, New Jersey, is an exclusive golf club that opened over a hundred years ago. In 1913 it was only 184 acres large. The later addition of 416 acres of beautiful virgin woodlands enhanced the remote beauty of the place.

Cypress Point Club

Situated in Pebble Beach, California, the Cypress Point Club is an exclusive resort with an 18-hole course of rolling fairways. It was designed by Dr. Alister Mackenzie, the architect of the Augusta National Golf Club.

Muirfield Village Golf Club

Muirfield opened its doors in 1744. The Gullane, Scotland-based golf club is considered the oldest golfing society in the world and is a must-see for any golf fan.

St. Andrews Old Course

Old Course, located at St. Andrews, Scotland is probably the most famous golf course in the world. In addition to the Old Course, there are four more excellent 18-hole courses, one 9-hole course, and a practice center. Golfers from all around the world are welcome, but reservations are a must.

Today's episode is about one thing: the bond between a father and a son. The Old Course at St Andrews serves as a backdrop, an elegant and not unimportant stage, but a stage nonetheless, for a play that O'Henry or Shakespeare or any of us could spend our entire lives writing, and then come to find that life is the play and there's no script, no stage direction, and it's full of surprise and wonder and you better hope for two things at the end: that you're giving yourself and your team a standing ovation for the performance of a lifetime, and that you only remember the good shots, because in the end, it's postcards not scorecards. Huge thanks to the team for making this – what I think is the best video I've ever made – @reiten for editing, @coltknedler for vid, @hafe_life for pics, and @stuartlkerr for, well, for being the guy in my life who lives closer to his heart than anyone else I've ever met. #braveheart

]]> Golf isn’t just your dad or granddad’s sport, a lot of people enjoy this past time including children and women alike. Prominent figures like Tiger Woods and Justin Rose are big players in this game, and watching a game of theirs or two might encourage you to give it a shot. Whether you’re a novice or just thinking out loud about golf, these tips will make you want to try it at least once.

Why Not Try Mini-Golf?

Mini-golf and actual golf are two very different sports, but mini-golf might also be of interest to you. The big difference is that the land of a gold course reaches to almost a hundred acres while a mini-golf course merely encompasses one or two acres.

Find the Right Club

How do you find the right golf club? First things first, measure your height and make sure that the club matches it. Also consider grip thickness, the length of the club, and the head of the club. These aspects are quite technical, so it would be great to ask a professional or even one of the assistants at the golf course.

Practice Your Stance

If you’ve already played sports, try out the “athletic position.” This is when your knees are slightly bent, allowing your upper body to bend forward slightly using your hips. This position can help you hit the golf ball as far as you can! Experiment with different stances according to what makes you feel most comfortable.

]]> If you ask any golfer what was the hardest thing to learn, there is a good chance they will say the TRX swing. Also known as “resistance band golf swing”, the TRX swing dictate how hard you will hit the ball, how far and how straight it will go.

Throughout the entire movement, the swing targets the shoulders, upper back, and core muscles which are involved in most. It is a great exercise for the muscles of the lower body as well; the quads, glutes, and hamstrings will keep your balance.

By doing the TRX golf swing, you can develop a better range of motion, through the upper thoracic spine, shoulders, hips, and ankles. It can help strengthen your core which can reduce back pain, improved balance, and better flexion, extension, and rotation of your trunk.

However, to do this movement properly, it requires flexibility and mobility in your hips and shoulders. If you suffer from any kind of limitations that prevent you from rotating, talk with a personal trainer or physical therapist. Also, if you feel any kind of upper body pain while doing this movement, stop immediately, otherwise you can hurt yourself.
