December 21st marks my one year anniversary as a golf blogger. The last few weeks I have spent a lot of time alone driving to various meetings and it has given me the opportunity to reflect on my blog as well as golf blogging in general. A lot has happened with this blog and the golf blogging world in general, so rather than simply writing about my own experiences, I contacted 2 of my favorite bloggers, Bob Weeks and Robert Thompson to get their thoughts as well. Look for these interviews to appear shortly.

These yoga postures are featured in groups or series on Katherine Roberts’ website, under the ‘Performance Tips’ tab.  Here’s one of my all time favourites that gets raves from students who are golfers and participants of all sports to help learn coordination of breath & movement while offering an unbelievable stretch through the hips and glutes… 

The golf swing requires proper hip rotation to generate power, speed, and balance from the hips. Additionally your low back health and endurance on the course are correlated to hip flex and strength.  

You will feel a stretch in the hip flexors, glutes, piriformis, psoas, adductors, and abductors. As always, deep breathing is the most important function of the practice of yoga and is a powerful tool for keeping the body free from tension. 

Golflogic friend, John Dickie from KaneffGolf called me up to let me know about their amazing new membership program.  This is a great deal, the membership fee includes unlimited play any day of the week at all 6 courses…and there is no initiation fee or food & bev requirements.  All this for only $4,999.00 makes it a deal you should seriously consider if you are looking to play a lot of golf and are looking for a variety.

Check out the press release below and if you have any questions you can contact KaneffGolf directly or email me and I can get answers for you.

BRAMPTON – KaneffGolf is introducing an exciting new program that will allow avid golfers the opportunity to enjoy the finest collection of public access courses in a single membership.

Mr. Ignat Kaneff started KaneffGolf when Lionhead Golf & Country Club opened to rave reviews in 1991. With the award-winning Legends and Masters Courses as its flagship, KaneffGolf has evolved into a tight-knit family of six spectacular properties with 144 holes of golf in the GTA and Niagara Region.

Now with the KaneffGolf membership, golfers can enjoy unlimited play seven days a week with no restrictions at all six KaneffGolf properties. The package includes advanced tee time bookings.

An additional spousal or corporate membership is available for $3,500 plus GST.

“This is the perfect opportunity for avid golfers who are looking for a little variety in their game at a membership fee that’s a great value for golf in the GTA,” says John Dickie, Director of Sales & Marketing for KaneffGolf. “Whether someone is looking to do a little business or entertaining on the golf course or just simply playing golf with friends and family the KaneffGolf membership is a terrific alternative to today’s high-priced private club memberships.”

I saw the Woody Harrelson movie “Go Further” a little over 2 years ago at a month-long 500-hour yoga teacher training at a time when I was totally into practicing yoga, staunchly pro-meat-eating and an anonymous chocoholic.  Of course all the vegan, organic, raw undertones of the movie went totally over my head at the time.  About 6 months ago I came across the book of the same name (“How To Go Further”: A Guide to Simple Organic Living with Woody Harrelson & Friends – Warwick Publishing Inc., 2005), and 2 months ago I read Fast Food Nation.  I still totally believe in the value of animal proteins in our diets (I’m willing to bet we were eating meat way back when we were whatever species we were before we evolved into humans), but reading these two books at this point in my life has had a radical effect on my diet – I am stupidly astonished that I feel SO much better physically eating these foods than I did even two months ago.  Also, everything I eat is SO YUMMY, I really don’t feel like I’ve sacrificed anything at all. 

Since I have struggled with my weight my entire life, here is a brief excerpt from Go Further that really hit home for me, helping me understand why although I have so often starved myself to lose weight, or when not dieting enjoyed mostly canned/processed “foods” – it really just makes a lot of sense.
