This is one of the best medical research papers Ive seen since a Doctor somewhere stated that Red Wine is good for your health. Professor Anders Ahlbom of the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet has identified that “the death rate for golfers is 40 per cent lower than for other people of the same sex, age and socioeconomic status, which correspond to a 5 year increase in life expectancy”.
Anders goes on to say that “The lowest rates are found in the group of players with the lowest handicap (i.e. the best golfers)”, so Id better get some more lessons asap!
