A game of golf is a great way to enjoy the sunshine and some friendly competition. Whether you’re a rookie or veteran, it is the perfect game to play with the entire family. In fact, according to Royal Kunia Country Club, a favorite local golf course of the Waipahu, HI, locals, there are three main reasons why a family golf outing is beneficial.

Why Play Golf as a Family?

1. Gain Quality Time

One of the best reasons to get out on the green with the kids is to simply enjoy time spent together. Busy schedules, between work, school, and activities, means good conversation happens less and less. It is important to put aside a few hours to talk, catch up, and laugh together. This is, in fact, good for your health as well as your relationship. Spending more time as a family can help reduce stress, nurture more positive behaviors, and improve self-esteem and self-satisfaction.

2. Learn a Lifelong Skill

golfThe problem with many sports is that your ability to play them well is limited to a certain age. Golf, on the other hand, is a game enjoyed by all ages. As a favorite among retirees, you can continue to play even as a senior. When you teach your children the game, you are passing on a skill that can be enjoyed for a lifetime. Not only will they love the sport itself, but each time they pick up a club they'll remember early memories of time spent together.

3. Get Outside

Advancements in technologies are a wonderful contribution to society. However, too much time spent on mobile phones or tablets can be damaging. This is true for parents and children alike. Put the phones down and get outside for a round of golf. The sunshine won't only feel good but do wonders for your body as well. Vitamin D is created from sun absorption and can help with the production of dopamine, a feel-good chemical in the brain.
