In this modern age, we are quick to confuse pleasure with real happiness and mistakenly turn to materialism. If only we had that bigger car, better house, new suit. But picking up your golf clubs is closer to the secret of happiness than you might first think.

What is happiness?

Plato said it was harmony of the soul, Aristotle felt it was a sense of well-being or flourishing, living an ethical life. More recently, scientists in the US put the secret of happiness into a formula - Happiness = P + (5xE) + (3xH). But is it really so complicated? Buying a set of golf clubs gives you access to fresh air, nature, sport and friends. According to Aristotle the definition of a happy life is a life made perfect by the possession of all good things such as health wealth, friendship, knowledge, virtue.
