Golf addicts don't need to be told this, but the game the Scots claim they invented really is good for you.
A Swedish study of 300,000-plus golfers has found it adds an extra five years to your life.
Well, you may say, that is hardly surprising. A round of golf means having to be out in the fresh air for a few hours, moving about at a fairly brisk pace.
However, the study also found that those with the lowest handicaps had the lowest death rates.
That presumably is because they keep more active -- not because they experience any less stress.
