Walking is a great form of exercise. This fact has been published in many articles and medical and health journals.

There are studies that show that walking the golf course during an 18 hole game of golf is equivalent to between 40% to 70% of an intense aerobics class. Playing 18 holes of golf and walking the course has also been shown to equate to a 45 minute workout. It is also been shown to be the same as walking 3 to 4 miles.

There are also studies that show walking the golf course is beneficial for lowering your bad cholesterol as opposed to riding in a cart. Riding in a cart did not provide the same health benefit.

If you find yourself behind a group of trees, in the rough with no good line of vision, or simply in a spot where you have no legitimate shot at the green, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and shoot a safe shot.

There’s nothing wrong with shortening the swing and trying to simply punch it out into the fairway where you can hit your next shot easily.

Do you want to do that or would you rather try to hit a great shot over the trees or through a small opening and hit a branch or trunk and have the ball bounce right back at you?

You’re looking at a single stroke giveaway. Think it through and choose wisely.
