When it comes to playing golf, many of us wonder just how dangerous it is. Statistics have shown that heart attacks frequently occur on the course and countless people, including celebrities die every year. This book by Ed Palank seeks to remedy this problem and provide golfers with tips on how to play properly and stay healthy while out on the course.
One of the main issues with golf is that it is typically played in summer in very warm conditions. The sun is beating down on you and it is all too easy to get dehydrated and overheated. This book addresses ways that you can stay cool on the course and reduce the risks of dehydration. There are some very solid tips here that absolutely any golfer can put to immediate use. For example, sports drinks really don't do that much for you and water is truly the best medicine. Golfers should also avoid alcoholic beverages while playing, since these can also contribute to dehydration.
Whenever you combine physical stress with mental stress, you're bound to have a game that can result in some health issues. In addition to heart attacks, strokes are quite common on the links. Many attribute this to the frustration and anger that can build up while you're playing. The author provides the reader with some great tips on how to minimize this kind of stress while improving your game.
This is a sport that requires a lot of physical strength and endurance. Players should never attempt to overexert, especially if the conditions are particularly bad for that day. The author stresses knowing your own limits and finding ways to play smarter, not harder. For example, a cart may be necessary on very hot days to reduce the risks of heat stroke by walking around the course. The importance of proper clothing is also addressed, since this is another contributing factor to a lot of health problems that occur on the course. For example, it is important to wear light colors, especially during hot and sunny days, to avoid getting overheated.
The book also covers dealing with allergies and the small injuries that can occur while playing. Advice is offered for all types of players, including those with disabilities. This is truly a great read that is absolutely necessary for all players, regardless of how often they head out for a round. The book provides warning signs that can help you determine whether you're overexerting or in danger of falling prey to a healthy problem while you're playing or practicing.
We highly recommend this book to all golfers, especially those that play in hot climates. The advice here is sound and medically proven. In addition to all the health tips, the author also provides exercises that you can do at home to help improve your swing and the rest of your game. We found the book to be very well rounded, easy to read and incredibly useful.
