play golf, ideal and healthy interpretation of the summer months

Golf is a healthy outdoor sport that challenges you physically and mentally. Whether you are young or feel young, have lots of time or little time, golf can be learned by anyone and is a sport for life.

Tjeerd Staal, golf professional at Golf Course Tespelduyn indicates; 'the enthusiasm to go abroad on vacation is low this year and many people will stay at home. We are responding to this and have developed suitable offers especially for those staying at home to teach new golfers how to play golf in a short period of time, so that they can make a round of golf independently this summer'.

'We notice that it is getting busier and busier,' adds director Peter Duivenvoorde. 'Of course people want to get outside, exercise and be healthy again after sitting at home for several weeks. But what certainly also plays a role is the fact that golf is much more accessible and much more accepted than before. Just like tennis, golf has been stripped of its elitist image for some time now and is practiced by everyone. We are proud of the Bollenstreekse atmosphere at Tespelduyn; approachable, down-to-earth and accessible. We do not see people with potatoes in their throats'.

Golf is healthy

A study by the Swedish scientific Karolinska Institutet indicates that golfers are living longer and that golf is healthy. The study of as many as 300,000 golfers shows that people who play golf have a healthier lifestyle, are more vital and live an average of 5 years longer than people who do not play golf. Golf also has an impact on well-being: golfers have a richer social life and are happier in part because of it.

Custom

'Our teaching approach focuses on enthusiastically getting new golfers into the course as quickly as possible, and we do that by providing customized instruction. After all, every person is different. This month we will start with new varied courses which, taking into account the appropriate distance, are suitable for starting golfers or people who want to take up golf again. So you can get your handicap 54 (GVB) in just 2 days. We are ready and all information can be found at www.golfbaantespelduyn.nl ', concludes Tjeerd.
