What better way is there to forget about the stresses of your day-to-day life than to head out onto the links and play some golf? You can work on your backswing, concentrate on getting your score under par, and relax in the sun as you reduce your stress and improve your health. If you are going to popular golf courses make sure to have all of your Tee Times booked in advance so that you are not disappointed. Consider staying at a golf resort so you can hop out of bed and start working on your swing the second you wake up.
