More than ever, women are hitting the links and holding their own. And we want to encourage more of our fabulous gal pals to join them. But you don't have to be rich, famous or particularly athletic to enjoy the game. Here are some reasons why women should be golfing!Studies show that women who engage in cardio exercise will live longer than those who don't. And, golf is a great way to stay in shape! Did you know a round of golf consumes 1500 calories, if you walk? All this cardio exercise will decrease a woman's chances of developing heart disease, which is a leading cause of female mortality. Golf also stimulates your creativity, problem-solving and strategic thinking.If you're looking to improve your workplace relationships, golf is your answer too.
