Check out my best-selling book, The Four Foundations of Golf: amzn.to/3BMTJDY

Golf might just be the most underrated longevity secret on the planet.

A massive Swedish study followed over 300,000 golfers and found they lived five years longer than non-golfers, with a 40% lower death rate across men and women of all ages. In this video, I’ll break down why golf is such a powerful health booster, what the science really says, and how you can get the same life-extending benefits just by playing the game you love.

You’ll learn:
⛳ The real reason golfers live longer (hint: it’s not just the exercise)
🚶‍♂️ Why walking the golf course is one of the best workouts you can do without feeling like one
🧠 How the social and mental side of golf protects your brain and your mood
❤️ How golf compares to jogging, swimming, and other sports for longevity
🌤 The research-backed health benefits of being outdoors and connecting with others

Golf isn’t just a “good walk spoiled” - it’s a proven way to improve your health, boost happiness, and maybe even add years to your life.

If you want to enjoy the game more, play better, and live longer - this video is for you.

Who am I?

My name is Jon Sherman 👋. I'm a best-selling author, PGA Tour coach, and a golfer just like you. I aim to help golfers of all levels lower their scores and enjoy the game more, but without talking about the golf swing. I focus on four topics - expectation management, strategy, practice, and the mental game. I'll share some of my best advice on this channel in an easy-to-understand, actionable format.
