For those of us that grew up playing the game, we take the teenage learning curve for granted. If you are a young adult and are thinking of taking up the game, here are 7 reasons why anyone in their twenties should learn to golf in Sacramento.
1) Your boss plays
What happens when you are asked by your boss to play a round of golf? It is OK if you are not good at golf, as long as you understand the rules, etiquette and can keep up with the pace of play. Don’t miss out on an opportunity to spend 5 hours with your boss to discuss strategic planning for the company and your next promotion.
2) Networking
As you are probably well aware, many business deals are closed on the golf course. Golf is one sport which you can show up at the course alone and be paired with 3 strangers who just might be your next business partner, banker, lawyer, or accountant. At Nextgengolf City Tour events, you are paired with different players in every tournaments so you can network with other young professionals in the city. It is amazing how many friendships and business relationships are forged on the golf course.
3) Meeting your spouse
Yeah, this is a stretch…In all seriousness the golf course is a great place for guys and girls to meet their future spouse or partner. If you are a golfer, meeting a fellow golfer definitely earns some bonus points!
4) Competition
We all grew up competing in one way shape or form, and golf provides a challenge every time you play. Golf is a game that attracts many former varsity collegiate and professional athletes, since you can compete at a high level and are less likely to get hurt. Just ask Rory McIlroy about playing other sports…
5) Health and fitness
Walking a round of golf burns around 2000 calories according to wearegolf.org. Yes, this is really hard to believe given the perception of golf is a lazy man’s sport which provides no health benefits. I would argue that playing a round of golf in 90 degree heat with a 25 pound bag on your shoulder and walking 5 miles is a pretty good workout. Next time you play golf, trying walking 18 holes instead of riding in a cart!
6) Lifetime value of the sport
There are not many sports which you can play from age 3-93. Golf is one of those sports that can connect generations and be enjoyed, no matter what age you are at.
7) It’s addicting
Contrary to popular belief - golf is a lot of fun. Although many people tell you the game is the most frustrating thing they do, they keep going back weekend after weekend. Golf is a healthy addiction that is approved by doctors nationwide!

The Sacramento River Cats ’ stadium will be known as Sutter Health Park starting next season, dropping the Raley Field title that’s been associated with the ballpark since it opened in 2000. Sutter Health Park will be the name of the stadium for the next 15 years, said team president Jeff Savage. The change was announced at a news conference featuring Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg and West Sacramento Mayor Christopher Cabaldon on Friday night. Sutter Health has long sponsored several River Cats activities, including Saturday night fireworks, a bike valet and the monthly Diaper Derby race. The medical group also organizes summer caravans to bring players to nearby hospitals to visit patients. “They really check a lot of the boxes,” Savage said. “They’re a local company, they’ve been existing partner of ours for many years, they are like-minded in that community initiatives are important for them, so it seemed like a good marriage.”
