Summer is the time of year when the sun shines more brightly, the days are longer and the temperatures invite you to spend more time outdoors. In this context, golf is an ideal activity to enjoy, so today we bring you the benefits of playing golf in summer.

IMPROVES CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH

The moderate effort involved in playing golf and walking is perfect for keeping the body active without subjecting it to excessive stress or high temperatures. During an 18-hole round, a player can walk between 6 and 10 kilometres, depending on the layout of the course. This aerobic exercise helps to strengthen the heart, improve blood circulation and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease if done in the right conditions.

REDUCES STRESS AND IMPROVES MENTAL HEALTH

Golf is a relaxing sport played in natural surroundings, surrounded by green landscapes. This contact with nature and the necessary concentration reduces stress and anxiety. Walking and deep breathing during play release endorphins, improving mood and general well-being.

INCREASES EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT

Vitamin D is essential for maintaining strong bones and a healthy immune system. Playing golf in the summer allows for more exposure to sunlight, which helps the body synthesise this important vitamin. However, it is crucial to protect yourself properly from the sun by using sunscreen, hats, umbrellas and appropriate clothing to avoid skin damage and dehydration.

ENCOURAGES SOCIALISING AND STRENGTHENS RELATIONSHIPS

Golf is a social sport par excellence. Playing a round allows you to spend time with friends, family or colleagues, strengthening personal and professional ties. Conversations during the game and the activities afterwards, for example on our Font Del Llop Terraza terrace, enrich social experiences and encourage an active social life.

Playing golf in summer combines exercise, nature and socialising, all while enjoying the good weather, come to Font Del Llop.
