In a report published by Stenner et al in the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, Australian patients with osteoarthritis who golfed reported lower levels of psychological distress and good to excellent general health vs the general population. In a survey of 459 golfers, over 90% reported their health as good, very good, or excellent, and only 8% reported high to very high levels of psychological distress. The study author concluded, “Golfers had lower levels of psychological distress and better general health than the general population, and this relationship was strongest in individuals with osteoarthritis.” In a companion press release on the findings issued by the University of South Australia, investigators speculated on numerous benefits conferred from golf that may contribute to these high levels of reported well-being, including the social aspect of golf and the good deal of walking and general high levels of activity achieved by playing the sport.
