Exercise like golfing is shown to improve Parkinson's
symptoms:
Research shows exercise improves strength, balance, coordination and flexibility in people with Parkinson's, a chronic, neurodegenerative disease that impairs movement and afflicts an estimated one million people in the U.S., the second highest among neurological disorders only to Alzheimer's, according to the Parkinson's Disease Foundation.

Some studies show exercise may even slow
the progression of the disease, which has no cure.Along with yoga and Tai Chi,
golf is among the sports particularly beneficial to people with Parkinson's
because it involves a great deal of balance, coordination and rotation,
according to Roxee Jones, coordinator of Altru Family YMCA's Parkinson Wellness
Recovery program, the organizer of last week's golf clinic.
