The life expectancy among golfers is five years longer on average than that for other people of the same sex, age and socioeconomic status, according to a study published in the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports.

The study was based on data from 300,000 Swedish golfers. It said the death rate for golfers was 40 percent lower than for non-golfers, in addition, the research indicated than the death rate among golfers was greater for those in the so-called blue-collar professions than those in the white-collar professions. Also, the study noted that the lowest mortality rate among golfers was found in those players with the lowest handicaps.

„A round of golf means  being outside for four or five hours, walking at a fast
pace for about four miles, something which is known to be good for health,“ said Anders Ahlbom, a scientist at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm.“People play golf into old age and there are also positive social and psychological aspects to the game that can be of help“.
