A golfer at age 50 is considered a senior. This is crazy because that is the prime of life. They may be the last chapter of a life, but they can be the golden years. There is more to than swinging a golf club. It is a way of life.

A good golf swing means better scores and a good golf swing is dependant on body condition,flexability and coordination. Your body has to be able to make those difficult turns and movements that demand strength and flexability.

This is not a book about golf lessons, although they are explained. It is a roadmap to a better lifestyle and better golf.

Most senior golfers physical capabilities will be going downhill fast, unless they can slowit down. We know our game is not going to get much better and we feel all the frustrations that go along with the game. We keep plugging along perfecting the defects in our swing. This book provides a formula that can add years of satisfying golf life. The author followed this roadmap from the age of 50 to the present at age 92 and shoots in the high 80's, so there is hope for any senior who is willing to make the effort. If they want to go for it, this book may be of help.

From the Publisher

Golf Strategy gor seniors is a book for senior golfers who want to improve their game. It goes beyond the mechanics of golf. It explains the imoportance of swing mechanics, but also shows how to make long term physical improvements that could extend a seniors life.

There are many good books on golf, but not many that bring the health and fitness into the story that is vital to a long life and golfing career. The book emphasizes the importance of consistant golf lessons and practice, but there is more than that when it comes to senior golfers as they advance in age. If a person is healthy at age 80 or 90 there is no good reason why they should not be able to shoot a respectable golf score.

It is a way of life. That means a lifestyle of dedication and motivation when it comes to health, fitness and exercise. Coach potatoes will never make it. It may not be easy but it is well worth the effort. How much would you give to add five, ten or twenty years to your golfing life? There is no amount of money that will do it. It is a way of life.

This book fills a special nitch in the golf book world that has been overlooked. It may be only a start but it is well worth the effort.
