Golfing is one of the most popular leisure sports in America, and it’s enjoyed by people of all ages. There are well over 15,000 golf courses in the US, and there are dozens of courses in the Boston area alone. If you’re an avid golfer and you live in or around Boston, a coed golf league could be your next favorite hobby. Here are some of the biggest benefits associated with recreational golf leagues.
Late Spring and Summer Fun
Coed golf leagues through Boston Ski and Sports Club run from May through August, and both men and women alike are invited to participate. These leagues are open to anyone with intermediate to more advanced skills. Designed to accommodate busy young professionals, the tee times and foursome schedules change each week. You can join a league solo to be placed on a new team weekly, or you can sign up with friends. Just make sure you leave Tuesday or Thursday nights open so you can get to Leo J. Martin Golf Course after work. It’s a fun social league, and no handicaps are necessary.
Meet New People
Golf is an extremely social sport, and while it’s possible to go to a golf course by yourself, it’s far more fun to go with friends, coworkers, or acquaintances. That’s exactly why BSSC provides its coed golf leagues – to help people all over the Boston area meet others who share their same interests. In fact, it’s even possible for you to grow your professional network by playing with and against new people. Whether you’re new to the area or you’re just interested in expanding your horizons, it’s a fantastic social opportunity.
Get Your Exercise
Walking around a golf course and swinging the club repeatedly can be outstanding low-impact exercise, and it’s a phenomenal way to get some fresh air. If you’ve been cooped up in an office or at your desk all week, and going to the gym or the park alone to get some exercise doesn’t sound like fun, then coed golf leagues are an excellent alternative. You can bring your clubs, get a cart, and enjoy the beautiful course and amazing scenery.
Learn from More Advanced Players
Because BSSC golf leagues are open to players ranging from intermediate to advanced in skill level, there’s an opportunity for those intermediate players to truly hone their skills on a weekly basis. Many of the players out on the course are more than happy to share tips, tricks, and advice for helping you learn to choose the right club, get your ball out of the traps, and even account for changing wind speeds as you strive for that elusive hole-in-one.
Golf is a classic American game and one that people across the country enjoy every single day. If you love golf and you play at an intermediate level or higher, join a coed golf league today so you can enjoy the beautiful weather, meet new people, get some exercise in, and perhaps even learn a thing or two.
