I played 36 holes this weekend, first time I played that many holes in a weekend in a long time. I played really well and grinded out pars and birdies better than I normally do. I also qualified for a mid-am golf tournament a few weeks ago; first time I successfully qualified. When I qualified I easily made it, and even though I shot 76 saturday, I did it easily also.
I believe my CrossFit experience is becoming crucial to my golf game, it is making me stronger, more flexible and especially making my mind stronger. The reason I know my mind is stronger is I can remember what my golf game was like before CrossFit. I now have more confidence over birdie putts, i no longer am scared of a 4' putt for par. Shooting under par doesn't make me as nervous as it once did.
CrossFit doesn't strengthen the mind using word problems or soduku, it makes you mentally tougher because you have to commit to being physically tougher. No quitting; finish every workout, get out of bed and workout at 6am on a regular basis, keeping up with workouts. Since I have been going to CrossFit both my body and mind have benefitted.
