Desert Golf Courses

Fri, 16 Apr 2010 16:49:00 GMT

Desert golf courses provide some of the most beautiful and challenging golf experiences in the world. The dichotomy of lush, green courses next to the rich desert landscapes creates a unique setting for the golf enthusiast to enjoy. There is nothing quite like a sunset or sunrise in the desert, setting off the beautiful shades of color that make the desert such an amazing place. From fiery reds, to deep purples, a desert landscape is a feast for the eyes. There is a wide range of natural life to enjoy as well, from towering saguaro cacti, to all manner of birds, and interesting desert wildlife, all within putting distance of the course.

There are many benefits to desert golf courses beyond just the beautiful scenery. Deserts—to your shock I am sure—are dry! What this means for the golfer is that any date set for a round on a desert golf course will have extremely good odds of being a beautiful, sunny day. You do not have to worry about being rained out, or facing other weather issues such as dense fog, high humidity, etc. The only real weather issues you may face in a dessert setting are the occasional winds or high heat in the summer months during the middle of the day. This is a small price to pay, however, for the multitude of benefits that desert golf courses such as Silverado Golf Club have to offer. A warm, sunny day spent on a beautiful course is what you should expect from desert golf.

The courses at Silverado Golf Club offer a challenging and well designed course for desert golf experience. Our course is located in a great area ensuring you that all the amenities a golfer could ask for are readily available.

Golf For Health

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 16:52:00 GMT

   Golf for health and a healthier lifestyle. It may sound too good to be true, but in fact it is the truth. A game of golf is a great way to stay in shape and relieve stress. It also introduces you to new friends and provides a social circle outside of work and the home, which is a great benefit for mental health. Beyond the benefit of spending a day outdoors, golfing for health has proven to be an effective path to overall wellbeing and fitness.

   Can you really golf for health? Yes! Activities which include load bearing work are excellent for building bone and muscle strength. Playing a round of golf carrying your bag is a perfect example of this type of exercise. The weight of the bag helps to build strength in the legs, core and shoulders. It is also good for your bone health and can help to stave off diseases such as osteoporosis. If your bag hurts your shoulder wrap the strap in a towel for added padding or look into buying a double strapped bag.

   Carrying that bag full of clubs around is also excellent for your cardiovascular health. Walking a round of golf for health will burn three hundred calories in an adult, two hundred and seventy if you use a cart. So skip the cart and enjoy stretching your legs over all eighteen holes as this will help to strengthen your heart and lower cholesterol. Simply going to the driving range and knocking off balls for an hour burns two hundred calories by itself.

   Another benefit to this exercise is that it will help you to sleep better at night. It has been proven time and again that regular exercise improves sleep. Why resort to pills when you can get a better night’s sleep by playing a round of golf for health? By exercising you will help yourself to fall asleep faster and sleep more soundly through the night.

   Golf for health also provides an outlet for socializing with like minded individuals. This is a critically important aspect of a mentally healthy and well balanced lifestyle. Everyone needs the opportunity to put the worries of home and family aside for a moment and to focus on something that they love to do. Golf is the perfect example of this.

   So get out of the crowded gyms, most of us spend too much time indoors as it is, and get outside and enjoy a game of golf for your health.

The resounding answer to that question is no. By saving money on staff and the frivolous clubhouse experience, these courses can focus their resources on providing the best golf experience for their discerning clientele.
