How a Slow Cooker Can Improve Your Golf Game

KarenGolf Fitness, Misc

This simple cooking tool can improve your golf game.

Between work or volunteering, household chores, typical errands, raising a family and maintaining general sanity, days are packed to the gills with more important things to do than play golf. Let alone cook a healthy meal after you have just spent 4 to 5 hours on the golf course.  Most of the time after a round of golf, you’re hungry and tired, so it is easy to wolf down loads of calories at the 19th hole where bar food is usually the fare, instead of going home to prepare a healthy meal.

A slow cooker could change your life.  Not only is a slow cooker an invaluable tool when you play golf, because the slow cooker cooks your meal while you are on the golf course, but it could improve your performance on the golf course, by providing you with healthy energy.

A slow cooker allows you to to cook without artificial chemicals and more nutrients and flavor, rather than instant, quick-fix food.  Slow-simmering food in a slow cooker cooks gently, without the vigorous bubbling or high heat of other cooking methods that can break down vital nutrients and vitamins in delicate foods such as fish, vegetables and fruit.

Simply place the ingredients into the slow cooker, turn on the switch and go play golf and when you return, you will have a healthy and delicious meal that you and your family will love.  Get out of the kitchen and go work on your golf game.

Slow Cooker Pork Chops Recipe

Serves 4

Ingredients

4 thick pork chops, trimmed

1 lb of cut green beans and or 12-15 new potatoes

1/2 cup chopped onions

3 cups of sliced mushrooms

3 cups of vegetable or chicken stock

1 garlic clove, crushed

1 tsp Italian herb mix

1 tbsp olive oil

salt and pepper

1. Drizzle olive oil into the base of the slow cooker.

2. Place green beans and new potatoes into pot and place pork chops on top of vegetables.

3. Pour stock over pork chops and potatoes.

4. Add the rest of ingredients along with a dash of salt and pepper and gently mix into stock.

5. Cook on medium to high for 4-5 hours, or until the meat is tender when pierced with a fork.

Pork is very lean meat. Each chop has about only 129 calories and  16- grams of protein to help you replenish nutrients lost while you played golf.

You can play golf with your friends and still cook a nice meal for your family.

Golf Fitness Workout to Increase Distance and Consistency-Cardiogolf

Cardiogolf is a golf specific workout designed by LPGA Teacher of the Year Karen Palacios-Jansen. Participants learn exercises to promote better swing mechanics, flexibility, strength and balance throughout the golf swing. The routine is a combination of swing drills and golf specific exercises. It accommodates every golfer regardless of gender, age and skill level or fitness level. All you need is a 4 x 4 sq ft space to do the golf swing exercises. If you don’t have a short practice club or enough room to swing a club, you can use a soccer ball or tennis racquet to simulate the golf swing. We will be doing practice swings, but you can do all the exercises without a club as well. I will show you how. We will not actually be hitting balls, but exercises to improve your swing mechanics as well as flexibility and strength.
