Snoring May Affect Your Golf Handicap

by Carol Bartram on November 25, 2009

I love this story according to the researchers eliminating snoring could improve your handicap by a massive three strokes. Now which golf player wouldn’t want that! In fact a lot of platers will be wishing they snored so they to could get the improvement.

The researchers followed twelve golfers who suffered from sleep apnoea which causes them to stop breathing for a time while they sleep. This interruption in their sleeping patterns can leave them waking up tired and irritable.  To help them sleep better they were given a mask to wear which forces oxygen into the lungs helping them to not stop breathing during the night.

It was noted that after some weeks of treatment their golf improved. Now I’m not a scientist but I thought this would be obvious. If someone gets a great nights sleep and is refreshed and relaxed upon awaking I would expect all aspects of their life to improve not just golf!

The moral of the story is get a greats nights sleep and your life will improve. If you snore or suffer from sleep apnoea go see your health professional you never know treatments and Snoring Aids have come a long way from the old methods of a quick jab in the back!
