Beware of side effects
It's that time again.....golf season. I enjoy the sport and I try to get out for a few rounds a year. Every year I have the goal of getting better and ever year I don't get out enough to make difference . This year looks no different, I have played one 18 and one 9 hole round and have another 3 tournaments booked for the year. Hopefully, I can get one or two more rounds in but just not enough playing to get better.
With the two rounds under my belt, I noticed a few things, I'm hitting the ball longer and staighter. How can this be? I know it's not the clubs or the numerous times I have already played. It's my Kung fu training! With my increase in flexibility and strength, I have inadvertently improved my golf game. Bonus! This was something I have been wanting to do for a while and now I'm starting to make progress through my commitment to another activity I really enjoy, Kung fu.
Wonder what other things in my life has improved with my training. So beware of the side effects of your training, you may be pleasantly surprised.

Found the same thing to be true when I started doing ballroom dancing with my husband. The awareness of what your body is doing and the ability to execute the moves you want that side effect definitely carries over into other things.
