You have to admit it feels a little strange to write anything as trite as exercise motivation right now, but the truth is everyone needs it.
Everyone.
Everyday.
Looking back at an older picture of you in your old house doing an old workout has actually served as new motivation. The photo is just one way to remind yourself of the goals that you had set for yourself in the past and compare them to what you are trying to achieve in the present. Now, you find yourself investing in yourself and your family and the future that you will have when this social distancing is over. You realize that you would be remiss, if not negligent, to emerge from isolation without a change of heart.
Whatever your goals happens to be, make sure that they lead you toward a positive change, a plan to make an improvement. Make your goals for yourself and your family genuine and thoughtful and inclusive. Most of all, let your change be infectious.
Golf Is One Sport That Is Still Allowed in Many Parts of the Country
One full month into social isolation and quarantine today! Your family started on March 13 and you are now at the 13th of April. You cannot help but wonder just how everyone is doing. You wonder about your friends you used to see on a daily basis, as well as your family members who on any normal year you would have seen last Easter weekend. It has been a rough month, but you can see lots of blessings despite the hard stuff so you are trying to focus on those. You know that you are one of the lucky families. You still get to work from home and follow many parts of your schedule, but are working on as many ways as possible to remain flexible to help teach your daughter at home.
After a month of learning to home school and adjust to all of the many new limitations in life, your family has had one major release. With a home that is situated on a golf course, the isolation protocols kicked into effect about the same time that the course opened. With new rules about one person to a cart and no flags in the holes, the game is a little different, but it is still a great way to get outside, enjoy the fresh air, and enjoy a sport that you love. In fact, now that every player has a cart the pace fo the game is a little different anyway, so you have often simply made the decision to walk the course and increase the amount of exercise that you are getting.
Practicing on the best high definition golf simulators over the winter allowed you to virtually visit some of the top courses in the nation, but knowing that you can even get outside and get in nine wholes after a long day of work is just the kind of mental release that you need. In fact, the improvements that you have seen after using the area’s best golf simulators has allowed you to perfect some parts of your game and make every outing more enjoyable.
In a time when many of the aspects of our lives have been turned upside down, it should come as no surprise that there are some people who are thankful for the home golf simulators they have invested in, as well as the courses that are still open in many parts of the country. Consider some of these statistics about one of America’s most favorite pastimes:
- The chance of one whole in one is pretty unique, but the chance of two holes in one in a single round are approximately 67 million to 1. These odds, however, do not keep avid golfers from enjoying the game.
- Golf, as a whole, generates more than $3.9 billion in charitable giving annually, so it may come as no surprise that with the use of the latest and best golf simulators the PGA may still find a way to generate these much needed funds.
- A total of 2.2 million people took up the game of golf in 2015.
- Golf began in Scotland over 500 years ago, but remains very popular.
