A Hearty Quiz… See How Many Answers You Know!

I am writing this post amongst my excitement for the LPGA Championship that is right in my backyard. Yup, up the street at Bulle Rock the ladies will chase that little white ball around. Yes, I appreciate and play golf, even though I know that most golfers my age are men. It is great exercise and a bit like meditation, don’t you think?

How many of you men out there play on a regular basis? I bet the answer is a heck of a lot of you! Do you ride in a cart or walk the course?

Do you know that the average golf course is 6500-7000 yards. That would be just under 4 miles. I think that is a good cardiac workout, don’t you?

We all know that heart health means exercise and good nutrition. Make a deal with yourself this season, walk at least 75% of your rounds.

So yes men, I am giving you permission to get out on the course at least 2 times a week. Do not tell your wives I wrote this! My hubby will laugh when he sees this, he only plays once a week.
