Stay Active - Mentally and Physically

I wanted to send out another shout out to all the continued support we've been getting from individuals and businesses throughout the golf industry and beyond.  It really is amazing to see communities pull together in support of charities like Cure Alzheimer's Fund.  We're very happy with the progress we've made over the past few weeks and are even more excited for what the future holds.

This past week I attended the 'Roadmap to Therapies' live conference put on by Cure Alzheimer's Fund where several keynote speakers discussed the focus and progress of their Alzheimer's research.  I personally found it very informative and encouraging to hear this information first hand from the experts.  It further reinforced the notion that Alzheimer's is a devastating disease that needs to be stopped.  As such, I'm even more ambitious to continue our DriveHard fundraising project to help raise awareness and funds for this cause.

One of the more basic topics that was covered in the conference was the importance of maintaining a healthy and active mental and physical lifestyle.  The benefits of doing this are countless especially as our bodies and mind start to age.  Staying mentally active with things like crossword puzzles, card games, chess etc, will provide your mind with the stimulation that it requires.  And physical health is equally as important as body and mind continue to work hand in hand.  This again can be simple activities like stretching, going for a walk or even playing a round of golf.

Golf is an amazing way to accomplish both mental and physical requirements.  Walking the course can be a good source for getting outside and getting some exerciser.  And the challenges on your mental capacity don't need to be explained to anyone who's played the game.
