If you are looking for different diverse rewarding rounds of golf this summer, the spectacular small-town settings in Montana offer many different fun adventures with majestic views which can be relaxing and therapeutic.
Small-town golf courses range from offering a leisurely, flat nine-hole experience, to courses literally carved out of hardwood forests and up and around hills, valleys, mountains or over a stream or pond.
Oftentimes the clubhouse is the town’s community event center, where everybody goes for golf, food, fun and socializing. Many great friendships have been established or embellished on the golf course.
As all golfers know, a game of golf is both mentally stimulating and physically challenging. Golf may not be considered a physically demanding sport, but one round will likely mean you are outside and moving around, for several hours at a time and constantly using your brain for the many mental challenges you face. The average distance that players walk during a round of golf is over five miles. Even when driving a cart, players walk an average of one mile per round. Stretching and swinging the club loosens the muscles and can reduce physical tension. Fresh air also benefits the respiratory system.
Whether you’re a beginner or a scratch player, golf is a constant challenge. When you think you have the game figured out, it will humble you. Challenge sharpens your focus, stokes creativity, and tests your resolve. You can begin playing golf when you’re a child and continue to play competitively throughout your life. There are very few sports where players can improve with age, but many who enjoy golf can claim they’re a better player in their 40s and 50s than they were in their 20s and 30s.
Spending free time wisely can have a positive impact on how you manage day- to-day responsibilities. Playing golf will occupy a healthy share of free time, and can provide benefits that are physically, mentally, and emotionally rewarding.
