The Next Level of Sports


if you ever think that golf is easy, you are wrong :)
If you don't agree that golf is a sport, then you are wrong also :P

I have been playing this high-class sport for about 6 sessions in Hyatt's Driving Range. 6 sessions equals to 600 balls, and 6 hours of practicing. It is said, "practice makes perfect", now my techniques is getting better and better, and my rate of "good hit" is quite high (8 from 10 hit are good).

Actually, I am not good with sports requiring good techniques, such as basketball, soccer, badminton, etc. My body don't have the required agility.. hahaha. That is why I prefer fitness, jogging or bicycling. Golf, is one kind of sport which requires good technique. It was quite difficult to swing my own body, even I hurt my shoulder. Most It hurts my back, because I have to stand in a stiff position.

When I played golf, I always sweated as much as if I had jogging for 30 minutes or more. It is also surprised me, what has made the sweat even what I do is only standing and swinging. Anyway, I don't use sweat as my indicator. My preliminary analysis concluded that cardiovascular effects (recall the definition here) probably not as good as jogging. Of course, you cannot expect any muscle development by doing golf. But by doing golf, you will maintain (even increase) the muscle and skeleton flexibility.

Enough writing. If you don't believe me, then try it yourself :)
