THE QATSPY GOLFER’S PAGE

Last year I wrote an article concerning action we can take, particularly following an exercise routine, to reduce the risk of Dementia and Alzheimer’s to not only improve our health, but allows us to enjoy many sports as we age. The article that I wrote was entitled GOLF, AN EXCELLENT WAY TO IMPROVE YOUR STRENGTH AND HEALTH SCORE: http://goo.gl/HJX8Ss.

This week, the Alzheimer’s Association released figures that show an actual reduction in the number of Alzheimer’s cases by 9 percent. I realize this is marginal improvement, but it is very encouraging. We would love to see this ravaging disease to totally be eradicated from our society. We all know people and families who have been affected with either Dementia or Alzheimer’s. Two notable cases were President Ronald Reagan and Coach Pat Summitt, the John Wooden of Women’s Basketball.   https://www.alz.org/documents_custom/2016-facts-and-figures.pdf

The Alzheimer’s Association contributes this reduction to awareness, treatments, and especially exercising. Cardiovascular exercise improves blood flow and oxygen to the brain, thereby reducing the risk of contracting Alzheimer’s. Remember what is good for the heart and body is also good for the mind.

There are a number of Cardiovascular exercises that you can be incorporate not only in your exercise routine, but also in your daily routine. I developed the CASPER (Cardiovascular, Aerobic, Strength, and Plyometric Exercise Regimen) that is in Section 20 of my book, The ESPY Golf Swing Coach, that I follow four times per week, plus I play golf four times per week walking the course.

The best thing you can buy yourself, or receive as a Christmas gift (HINT, HINT), is a Push-or-Pull cart for your clubs and walk the course, either for nine or eighteen holes. I wear a pedometer during my golf rounds, and I have measured the distance I walk as 5.2 miles for nine holes and 10.5 miles for eighteen holes.

And the good thing about walking the course is that you do not recognize it as an exercise, but as an enjoyable sporting activity with friendly competition.

The other benefit the person receives from playing golf is the mental activity, both on the conscious and subconscious level you are engaged in, that is also great measure to prevent Alzheimer’s as proven by the nine percent drop in Alzheimer’s cases.

If you are a low or high handicap golfer or even a golfer-want-to-be, you can improve your golf swing and game by purchasing a copy of my book, The ESPY Golf Swing Coach.

I used my grandfather’s (Hemi Quinn Boatright) blue book, who is pictured here at the North Hills Golf Course in 1946, that he used to teach golf. I spent seven years writing a book that can be used as a stand-alone/ Do-It-Yourself self- coaching manual. This book is a great book for either the scratch golfer or the high handicapper. Everyone can benefit from this book.

I also include the article entitled A PEDIGREE of a GOLFER, a GOLF COACH- and a GRANDFATHER, describing the background of my grandfather’s love and appreciation for golf http://goo.gl/hJYJIP.

Right before I started writing this book, I had the pleasure of interviewing a Vietnam P.O.W. at the Hattiesburg Country Club. He was held for seven-and-a-half years at the Hanoi Hilton. Colonel George Robert Hall survived his horrendous imprisonment by using his love for golf. His story and my interview are in this link: http://goo.gl/24lFvo.

I wish you and your family and friends a Happy Thanksgiving!

A Recommendation for your Golf Game:

I would like to recommend a wonderful radio program that I regularly listen to on my I-Heart Radio app on KARN 102.9 FM, out of Little Rock, AR. They air a golf show called “Arkansas Fairways and Greens,” at 7:00am CST on Saturday mornings. It is hosted by Bob Steel and Jay Fox. Bob occasionally has on his show a guest named Shawn Humphries, a Professional Golf Instructor from Dallas, TX. One thing that Mr. Humphries stresses is the mental part of golf, not focusing on the results but the process.

Until next time– Be Synced, Tee-to-Green, with The ESPY Golf Swing!
