Play Golf and Boost Your IQ

Here’s an excerpt from this interesting post from Dr. Ellen Weber I found on Brain Based Business:

From that first shot off the tee … golfers capitalize on kinesthetic intelligence and naturalistic intelligence. The game also adds brain chemicals for sharper focus. A growing body of research suggests how the links hold mental benefits for business brains … beyond what most golfers realize. Perhaps more even than rich alliances and friendships gained on the course, golf keeps players in top mental form.

With the importance of the mental element of the game and golf’s demands on a person’s focus, it doesn’t surprise me at all that playing golf would sharpen a person’s faculties. Golf has so many business benefits, and I bet Mr. Business Golf already knew that increasing your business IQ was one of them. Did you?golf brain

Here’s another tidbit:

Sit in a lecture or staff meeting and you’ll use less than 3 percent of your brainpower. Mentor another golfer during a game … on the other hand … and you use more than 90 percent.

I didn’t even know humans were capable of using 90% of our brainpower!

Get smarter and play better by “getting stupid”

Here is another fascinating post by the same author on the importance of kinesthetic intelligence in golf.

Enjoy!
