Here’s some good news for all golfers. If you are hitting the rough every time you raise the club, then try yoga—-that too in the midst of the Himalayas. Believe it or not, taking up yogic exercises imparted by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s Art of Living Foundation can really improve your game, organisers say. And some of the golfers who are in Kathmandu for the first such programme at Le Meridian Gokarna Forest Golf Resort and Spa are already experiencing it. Around 60 people have signed up for the five-day course named ‘Spirit of Golf’. Besides locals, there are golfers who have come from as far as Dubai and Mauritius. Golf is a mental game as much as it is physical, and this unique programme that combines golfing and meditation is helping the golfers bring equilibrium to the mind and body and also raise the level of their game, the players say. Lessons of Art of Living like pranayams, sudarshana kriya, yoga and interactive sessions will help the golfers to strike the perfect balance of mind, body, breath and spirit, according to the organisers. The course is set in the midst of the Gokarna forest surrounded by the exotic Himalayas, which add to the serenity of the ambience. The organisers say that at $1,200 per person on twin-sharing basis, excluding airfare, it might seem a bit steep. But if your pockets are deep and golfing is your passion, then it will be worth it. So get ready to pack your bags and golf kit for a Himalayan experience. — IANS
