Golfshake lobbies for golf bank holiday

This may not come as a surprise but most golfers are happy when out on the golf course, with not a care in the world other than to get a good score or to beat their opponent.

A recent survey by Golfshake.com identified just this that golfers playing more golf were generally happier in life than those that played less and the main factor for not playing more was time and not cost.

Simple as it sounds, providing golfers with an extra days holiday could result in an happier work force who do a better job. With being happy in work and out playing golf it all ties in with people having a happier more healthier life overall.

With employers backing, the extra days holiday would be just a day-off where you can get out on the golf course and not think about work at all. Not a work society day, not taking a client out to talk work stuff but just a day off teeing it up.

The data from from the survey support the claim that more golf makes us happier in life and happy people/workers have a better life and work harder.

These are some of the key stats, facts and figures from the survey:
  • People who play more golf are a lot happier in life
  • Main reason people don’t play more golf is TIME not cost. 80% said if they had more time they would play more
  • 50% of people play SIX or more different courses per year
  • 30% surveyed are non club members looking to join a club
  • 90% would play more if they joined a club
  • 70% say COST isn't an issue for playing more
