How to survive the lockdown as a golfer
The golfer says not playing has taken a toll on players.
Kwatsaduza – Wayiti Mchumane, golfer from the Monday and Thursday Social Club, says elderly members will be the most affected for not playing for this long.
The golfer says not playing has taken a toll on players.
“It is hard being out of the game, but it is something which needs to be done to ensure everyone’s safety.
Plenty of golf, soccer and cricket to enjoy during the holidays
“The social league is very beneficial to our elderly members as they get to exercise through playing. It is a great social networking for them, as most of them are pensioners.
“The challenge we have is staying fit, since training is very limited.
“And most of us being from the township are not so privileged to own spacious properties,” says Mchumane.
He adds that exercising indoors isn’t for everyone.
“Some individuals are comfortable with indoor exercises, but it is definitely not for everyone.
“I personally struggle with that but have resorted to skipping ropes, stomach exercises, and I have also built a swing booth for myself in my garage.
“With all that said I have started to put on weight because one disadvantage of being home all the time is that you tend to eat a lot,” he adds.
He explains that as a golfer, swings and distance matter to the game.
He says those who are not able to exercise or continue to play in their private homes need not worry.
“My advise to our elderly members is that they should use this time to catch up on some reading, watch television and stay informed.
“They should also stretch at least twice daily,” he says.
