Australian Senior Golfer
Golf news, information, entertainment and resources for golfers aged 45 plus.
Australian Senior Golfer is a new online golf magazine and web resource for older golfers.
We bring you all the latest golf news, views, golf equipment, golf tips, golf travel, special features and information and over time have built into a valuable online golf resource.
We particularly want to encourage participation and interaction from readers and to establish a real “community” here.
To that end we have a brand new (as at 1/3/2009) Golf Forum where mature golfers can get together and exchange views, information, recommendations, whatever they please really.
ASG also provides the facility for readers to comment on all individual articles and posts by just clicking on the links at the bottom. There is also a Letters page for those so inclined.
Whilst we have content of interest to all golfers, we of course have a particular slant towards information and resources for “older” golfers. We don’t want to set any age barriers or limits, but say we are thinking around the 40 pluses. Whenever it is your body starts telling you it is time to start taking special consideration of it. But also, whenever it is you realise life is short and it is time to make the most of it and enjoy it as much as possible.
We are not just interested in golf clubs with senior flex shafts or so called “senior’s golf balls”, we want the latest drivers, irons and the best balls we can afford. But we are interested in things like health and fitness, adapting your golf swing as you get older, golf travel and lifestyle. One day we hope to have an article entitled “How to get the perfect golf swing in one easy lesson”. Until then, we’ll just have to concentrate on how to continually improve our golf swings pre-mortem.
As well as the usual pro tour stories, we pay particular attention to elite professional and amateur senior golf, and to all those average (and not so average) older golfers who participate in veterans golf tournaments and events.
A couple of years ago, I was teamed with an 11 year old playing his first round of competition golf. The first thing he did when he finished the 18 competition holes was to turn around and play the whole golf course over again….and again, probably only till darkness intervened. That’s probably how he got to single figures and A Grade so quickly.
As you get further into the “older golfer” category, the likelihood of being able to (or even wanting to) practice to that extent without physical ramifications gets less and less.
And whilst we can’t hope to get younger, at least under current scientific constraints, we can aim to continue to improve. We can get smarter. And if not that, we can at least remember we are there to enjoy it.
