In this series, Surprising Ways to Slash 500 Calories, we discuss a variety of ways you can easily eliminate 500 calories from your daily routine resulting in an easy weight loss of one pound per week. Our job is to help you in your weight loss goals and even if you were to burn one less calorie day; it would add up over time.<\/p>\n

The nice thing about golf, is that it’s a sport you can truly play alone. So if you want to play this game and don’t have a partner, you can still get out and get to work.\u00a0 Golf is not known as a physically demanding sport, but a round of golf can really burn some calories, if you’re smart about it. If you use a bag dolly and walk it, instead of riding in a golf cart, you can burn up to 300 calories per hour. Generally, 18 hole golf courses take around four hours to play, so a weekly round of golf can really make a dent in that spare tire. Is it a vigorous training activity likely to increase your cardio and lung capacity tremendously? No! But, does it offer an active and outdoorsy way to spend your day? Heck yeah!<\/p>\n
