Does golf class as taking exercise

[FairwayDodger]

Well my plan failed. Golf isn't strenuous enough to make me sweat and kept losing the signal from my HR strap so gave up...

Perhaps some lube would work

I'm claiming that as a win for "not exercise"!

I kind of agree BUT still feel the distinction of whether it's exercise for health or fitness is relevant...walking 5-6m is beneficial for health, if not fitness.

I haven't read the full 9 pages but in my opinion it is unquestionably exercise.

It's not aerobic / cardiovascular, and there are a great many activities that offer more vigorous exercise, but all physical activities are exercise golf included.

Walking up the steep path between our 11th green and 12th tee is pretty aerobic/cardiovascular, especially carrying a bag full of clubs! :mmm:
