Golf offers an excellent opportunity for mental wellbeing, boosting confidence, enhancing self-esteem, and reducing anxiety levels.
Engagement in physical activity has been empirically established as an effective intervention for the treatment of depression and anxiety.
Furthermore, consistent physical exercise serves as a preventative measure against the development of anxiety disorders, depressive conditions, type 2 diabetes, strokes, breast cancer, and cognitive decline associated with dementia.
How many individuals consider the mental health benefits of playing golf? ProQuip Golf’s “Lighten the Load” campaign highlights this perspective.
ProQuip, Scotland’s leading all-weather golf apparel brand, has launched Lighten the Load, an awareness-raising campaign promoting golf’s positive mental health benefits.
The campaign launches today, at the start of National Mental Health Awareness Week, which runs from May 12 to 18.
ProQuip promotes social connections among golfers by inspiring them to enjoy more time on the course with friends.
As part of this commitment, the company has pledged to make donations to Mind, the leading mental health charity in the UK, for every PROPAC-LITE rain jacket sold worldwide.
The PROPAC-LITE is ProQuip’s lightest golf rain jacket, weighing only 263g.
Its compact design allows it to be easily packed into its own pocket, transforming into a convenient zipped pouch measuring 19 x 26 cm for effortless travel.
PROPAC-LITE is available as a hooded quarter zip jacket, or full-zip jacket.
