In brief Leisure-time physical activity is associated with a decreased risk of coronary artery disease. This study evaluated the effect of walking the golf course on total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, and the ratio of TC to HDL-C. Twenty-eight male golfers and 16 male nongolfing controls underwent lipoprotein analysis at the beginning and end of the golf season. The study demonstrates that golf lowers TC and LDL-C levels and improves risk ratios.
