This allows the mind and body to restore itself back to its state of perfect health. Ki gong is a slow moving meditation exercise enabling you to become aware of your breath, body and spirit. “Ki” refers to life’s vital energy while “Gong” refers to practice or exercise. Ki Gong gently moves all your major joints and is an excellent daily exercise for all ages, especially those over 50 or with disabilities. Another important benefit is oxygen, a natural antibiotic, which comes from the intentional deep diaphragmatic breathing used in Ki Gong. Deep breathing cleanses and purifies the body supplying it with more oxygen, assisting in cell rejuvenation. It also slows the heart rate down and lowers blood pressure. Be sure to experience the benefits of tai Chi/Ki gong with Mitch here at SCAL Community Center. He holds mediation classes on Thursdays at 4 p.m. and Tai Chi classes on Fridays at 10 a.m. Blood Pressure CHeCKs Donna McCarthur from Centennial Hills Hospital will perform free blood pressure checks on friday, March 9, from 9-10 a.m. in the Community Center.

HEALtH AND fItNESS Golf Teez By Dennis Silvers Ah, springtime in Las Vegas. Nothing quite like it. The sunny weather, the sight and smell of beautiful new flowers... and the REAL beginning of the golf season! With the cold winter weather behind us, now we can get out to the golf course and work on our game, and work on it we should. Anytime you have a slow down in playing any sport, especially golf, you need to gradually build up both the physical and mental tolerance you need to play your best golf. Here are a few suggestions that I know will help you get back to swinging like your ol’ self after coming out of winter’s hibernation. • Start spending as much time as you can devote on the practice tee... especially the short game areas. • If you haven’t played much golf through the winter, most likely, you have lost some touch throughout your short game. • Do a lot of putting drills, which will rapidly help you develop your feel for distance control and help the tempo in your putting stroke. • Work on little chip shots from just off the green which will again rapidly improve your touch and technique. • And, unless you plan on not getting into any bunkers this season (wouldn’t that be great!), work on those green side bunker shots as well. This will promote good technique as well as confidence. • Finally, when you’re hitting practice shots on the range, be realistic. You probably haven’t played a lot of golf throughout the winter, so start off gradually. Make sure you do a good stretching routine before hitting balls to help prevent injury. Work through your shots slowly and think about what you are trying to accomplish, while you’re also working on your swing mechanics. If you haven’t played a lot, make it a point to go through your bag and hit each and every club to familiarize yourself with what the club will do. Again, be realistic. Until you start to routinely play, your golf muscles won’t be what they should be. Be patient. The more you start to play, the easier it will become, and the more fun you’ll have. And speaking of fun, the professional staff at Aliante Golf Club will hold a FREE golf clinic exclusively for Sun City resident golfers on the second Wednesday of each month. So mark your calendar for Wednesday, March 14, and plan to meet us at the Club House at 11 a.m. Attending these clinics will go a long way in getting your game back into shape to start enjoying not only spring golf, but summer and fall golf as well. Hope to see all of you out there! Known as “The Golf Guru of Las Vegas,” Dennis Silvers is an award-winning, nationally Syndicated Radio/TV Golf Talk Show Host. He’s been heard on Fox Sports Radio, ESPN Radio and is currently heard on CBS Radio (100.5 FM) in Las Vegas from 8-9 a.m. and is seen weekly on “Golf...& Other Fore-letter Words” on the Vegas Video Network every Monday at 5 p.m. Dennis will soon be joining SiriusXM Radio on the PGA Tour Radio Network.
