other people of the same sex, age and (interestingly) socioeconomic status, and can expect to live up to 5 years longer. This is most true for low-handicap golfers, which is attributed to the regular play required to keep a low handicap, rather than the inner calm achieved from avoiding the aforementioned anger, frustration and tears!
