Star players, who often spend fitness trainers large money to help them enter shape and help them remain physically fit--say there are a few particular physical benefits related to a trip on the links.

Experts say you can get the most out-of a round of golf if you walk the course, the length of which can measure about 5 miles, depending on the course. Walking improves your cardio-vascular health, builds energy and lets you burn a modest level of calories. If you carry your clubs, you might get an upper body work-out as well. And striking the ball actually can boost your hand-eye coordination, which can be of use in many areas.

Many superstars and professional players have begun playing to include another degree of competition to their lives and to be able to invest more time together with their own families, who are joining them about the course.
