he PGA of BC is proud to
announce its partnership
with Kin’s Farm Market as
the Official Fruit Provider of the association. Kin’s Farm Market has also
graciously offered to contribute to
the monthly Pro talk magazine by
providing a “Kin’s Nutritional Tip of
the Month”.
Kin’s Farm Market started as an 8
foot table stand on Granville Island in
Vancouver, BC. Soon after, they became one of the busiest stands in the
island. This helped in pushing them
to open their first store at Blundell
Centre in Richmond. Fast-forward 20
years later, they have expanded into
communities throughout the Lower
Mainland with over 29 stores. Their
motto, “We Sell Freshness,” reflects
their strong commitment to provide nothing but the highest quality produce and exceptional service
to make their customers happy and
satisfied.
Last January, Kin’s Farm Market
launched a new and innovative Nutrition Program through a collaborative effort with COBS Bread. Receiving an overwhelming interest from
schools, Kin’s and COBS sought new
approaches to accommodate this demand and to positively impact even
more students.
the presenters will be visiting local
schools in the Lower Mainland, from
North Vancouver all the way down to
Chilliwack, educating school children
on healthy eating habits.
On April 6th, Kin’s Farm Market
introduced an environmental program that encourages their customers to bring their own reusable bags,
therefore limiting the use of plastic
bags within their company. Kin’s will
be donating two cents per purchase
(when a plastic bag is saved) on behalf of their customers to the David
Suzuki Foundation. In its first month
alone, the program has already
saved over 72,000 bags!
Kin’s will also be introducing a
new reusable bag for the summer.

Things Are Looking Up In Golf!
By Dr. Chris Baxter, PH.D, MNLP
Dr. Chris Baxter is the
resident mental game
guru at Complete Golf
Performance and is North
America’s first Certified
Mind Factor Coach. Chris
has worked with golfers
of all skill levels, including national champions,
Canadian Tour players,
and recreational golfers. He recently had the
honour and pleasure of
working with B.C.’s elite
junior golfers when he
served as mental game
coach at the 2009 Fall
High Performance Camp
for the 2009 BCGA Provincial Junior Team.
I’m sure that we’ve
all used the expressions
“things are looking up” to
describe a positive situation and “I’m feeling a little down” to describe less
positive emotions. The
expressions, when said,
often mirror our physiology; when you are “feeling down” you’ll likely be
walking around slouched
and with your head down.
Have you ever considered how you carry yourself on the golf course?
What is your body language like when you hit
a great shot? How about
when you hit a bad shot?
If you had someone capture your round of golf on
film and then edited out
everything other than the
10 seconds that elapse
after each shot, it would
be pretty easy to figure
out how you were playing that day. You might be
surprised to see just how
quickly you change your
posture and facial expressions in response to shots
on the course.
Hit a great shot, and
you’ll typically walk with
confidence with your head
up and chest out. Hit a
bad shot, and you’ll likely
walk to your ball with your
head down and your posture slouched. Your mental
state is reflected in your
physiology!
equally possible to influence your mental state by
changing your physiology.
The next time you get angry (on or off the course),
force a large smile on your
face and see how long the
feeling of anger lasts!
A simple way to positively influence your mental state with your physiology on the golf course is
to resolve to always keep
your eye level above the
flag. By forcing yourself to
hold your head high, you
just might find that things
are looking up when you
next play a round of golf!
What
most
golfers
don’t know is that the connection between mental
state and physiology is
not a one way street; it is
Performance Health Tip: “Warm-up and Stretch”
By Matt Furlot, RMT, ATRI, SMT
Matt Furlot is the Clinic
Director
at
Legacies
Sports Massage, the Official Sports Massage
Clinic of the PGA of BC.
His specialty credentials
include CSMTA Level III
Sports Therapist and
the
Aquatic
Therapy
Rehab Institute. Matt
has worked with over
20 National teams and
is currently a Therapy
Instructor at UBC and
Professional Continuing
Education Courses.
No matter what your
sport, and no matter if you
are a novice or an expert,
flexibility will have a direct
effect on your sport performance. Did you know
that a warm-up followed
by stretching prior to activity will allow the joints
and soft tissue to travel
through a greater range
of motion, will allow for a
stronger contraction, and
will decrease the risk of injury?
Leading research (A.
Fradkin, Bloomsberg University of Pennsylvania)
suggests that those who
warm-up and stretch are
up to nine times less likely
to be injured! If we look at
sports specific evidence, a
study in 2004 that examined golfers who routinely
did dynamic warm-up exercises (stretching while
moving)
and
practice
swings increased their club
head speed and on average decreased their handicaps by seven strokes over
seven weeks. Amazing –
and yet did you know there
is yet another survey that
showed of 304 recreation
golfers, only 1/3 regularly
included warm-ups and
stretching!
So lets get started! A
warm-up should include
an aerobic activity that literally warms the body and
elevates the heart rate.
This could be a brisk walk
for 5-10 minutes including
dynamic stretches of the
torso and shoulders – prior to starting on the green.
Challenge yourself to stay
warm and flexible as you
progress
through
the
course by including “mini”
warm-ups and stretches.
For some sport-specific warm-up and stretch
ideas, google “dynamic
stretching golf” or visit

New” page to download a

Kin’s Farm Market Nutritional Tip of the
Month
HR & TRAINING
By Lia Fletcher, Marketing Manager
MANAGER
You may not be an Olympian, but you can eat like one!
Lia Fletcher is the Marketing Manager for Kin’s
Farm Market. She actively studies nutrition and is
a regular contributor to
Kin’s Bi-Monthly E-Newsletter. Be sure to visit
www.kinsfarmmarket.
com and sign up to receive the publication. It
offers a wealth of information on your favourite
subjects such as healthy
recipes, healthy living,
the latest on fruits and
vegetables, and more!
Have you ever envied the
stamina and energy put forth
by professional athletes? In
an interview with the Canadian Press, Rose Reisman,
a Toronto nutritional consultant, says that “the key is in
what they eat.”
Lia Fletcher
Loo, for example, was very
careful about what she put
into her body while preparing for the winter games.
She never skipped breakfast and ate many meals
and snacks throughout the
day. Her advice: “in addition
to lean proteins and healthy
carbs, make sure to load up
on fruits, veggies and lots of
water.”
a snack to “kick-start [our]
metabolism” because after
sleeping six to eight hours
the metabolism is at its slowest rate possible,” she says.
Like Loo, Reisman suggests
that we should eat many
small meals throughout the
day with items from all four
food groups in order to prevent us from being hungry
and overeating.
Reisman stresses that
“the body needs water to
function, especially during
intense training or exertion,”
she says. “Dehydration of as
little as two per cent body
mass can decrease muscular
strength, muscular endurance and anaerobic work capacity.”
OPERATIONS
The key is to eat small
meals throughout the day, so
stay healthy by stocking your
diet with real foods first - and
as a last resort use energy
bars if you must.
Managers
Reisman shares the
MARKETING
good news that “non-profesMANAGER
sionals” can learn from those
athletes because no matter
what you do in terms of an
active lifestyle, we should all
be eating the same as they
do. “The only difference with
a pro is that they are going
to consume double the calories we are because by nature they are more active,”
says Reisman.

SCREENING COLONOSCOPY - What you should know
By Lynn Furlotte, Executive Director - Specialist Referral Clinic
Colon Cancer is the second most
frequent cause of cancer death in
Canada, and will affect 5% of the
population in their lifetime. The disease strikes men and women in equal
proportions. For those with a family
history of colorectal cancer, the risk
may increase significantly.
Risk Factors include:
1. Age – 90% of all new cases occur
in people over age 45
2. Family or personal history of
colorectal cancer, rectal polyps,
ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer or breast cancer
3. Unhealthy lifestyle – poor eating
habits and smoking
4. Inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s)
These risk factors can be mitigated
through early detection and treatment.
Regular screening procedures can
significantly reduce the risk of de-
veloping colon cancer. Large studies
have shown that active screening can
reduce your risk by 90%. All colon
cancer begins with a polyp. Not all
polyps become malignant, but by removing them the potential for bowel
cancer is significantly reduced. By the
time symptoms appear, cancer can be
well established and in many cases
spread to other parts of the body.
Tremendous progress in the field
of video scopes has made it relatively
simple for your doctor to screen your
entire large intestine or colon during
the colonoscopy.
the colonoscope, the physician can
carefully guide the instrument in any
direction, allowing inspection of the
lining of the colon for medical problems such as intestinal inflammation,
ulceration, bleeding or presence of
cancer. If there is anything abnormal,
such as a polyp (abnormal growth on
the inside lining of the intestine) or inflamed tissue, the physician can painlessly remove all or part of it using
the tiny instruments passed through
the scope. The tissue (biopsy) is then
sent to a lab for testing.

the complexity of each variety.
The estate was purchased by
the Toor family in 1988 and the
planting of Vitis Vineifera were
introduced in 1995. Today the
vineyard is in full production with
planting of Cabernet Sauvignon,
Syrah, Gamay, Malbec, Merlot
and Pinot Gris.
The moderating effect of the
Okanagan River on the lower
western edge of the vineyard is
also a natural deterrent against
October frost.
It is not just a coincidence
that you will find them located
between Black Hills & Burrowing
Owl Estate wineries on the Black
Sage Bench.
“True Pleasure is only a sip
away”, as you will soon discover
when you try one of our select
wines. Their estate is not only a
family-owned and operated business, it is also our life and passion.
Be sure to look for their products at liquor stores and at all
PGA of BC Events!

Golf’s “New” Sciences
By Mark Strong, CPGA, TPI
Mark Strong is the 2008
PGA of BC Assistant Professional of the Year and
currently an Apprentice
Professional at the Vancouver Golf Club. He
also serves as Assistant
Coach of the Simon Fraser University Varsity Golf
Team. As one the first
TPI Certified Golf Professionals in British Columbia, Mark actively spends
time researching the latest in fitness, technology
and science surrounding
the game of golf.
Right now, the world
of golf instruction is experiencing the first stages of an informational
revolution.
Several new
technologies are producing conclusive, hard data
that the golf industry has
not seen before. As long
as golf has been around,
there have been theories
as to what should happen in a “good” golf swing.
There are now tools available to substantiate or disprove any of the golf theories out there. Whether
it be the behaviour of
the golf ball in flight, the
club through impact, or
the body throughout the
swing, technologies now
exist to monitor these.
have quantifiable cause
(club behaviour) and effect (ball behaviour). If
you’ve had a chance to
work with these machines,
you’ve probably found that
the “Old” PGA-Manual ball
flight laws are incorrect.
The club’s path does not
solely determine the ball’s
starting
direction,
nor
does the club face indicate
the ball’s finishing direction. In the book “Physics
of Golf” (1994), Theodore
Jorgensen explains the Dplane; a theory that outlines the true cause and
effect of golf club and ball
flight. His work has now
been proven correct by
these new launch monitors.
The newest 3D Doppler
Tracking Radar (eg. Flightscope) can track the ball
in flight as well as what
the club does to the ball
through impact. We now
Golf’s new 3D machines
(eg. K-Vest and AmmSensor) can monitor the precise movement of different
body parts throughout the
golf swing. Observing the
Kinematic Sequence accurately profiles the speed
and amount of rotation of
the hips, torso, arms, and
golf club. Approximation
is no longer good enough.
This “new” information
does not have to be seen
as a challenge or contradiction to any of the older
teaching styles.
If you
have “thoughts” or “feels”
that have always worked
for you or your students,
the new sciences may simply help explain why they
work. On the other hand,
instructors and students
will now have a chance to
actually prove or disprove
any theories out there. I
encourage instructors and
students of the game to
look into golf’s “new” sciences; they are already
starting to make an impact on golf’s future.
