golfers are out ii Wigg their;,, skills for the
summer ahead l'ke• already heard some
remark that it's°fpo' hat totgolf. Just thick,,
only a few short weeka- ago it was too cold to
golf! There's no pleasing some people.
An element o1;1 excitement occurred last

Championship at�`Peterborough. The 56-

Since 1 had been planning aseniors article
for sometime this • season, I thought this
week would, be the perfect' time to focus on
seniors' golf. Golf is the game of a lifetime
as I've said so many times before. Many
golfers enjoy the game well into their senior
years.
What exactly does a senior's age have to
be? Well I have a friend whose husband
claimed to be middle-aged at 55 until his
wife asked him how many people he knew
w bo, were 110. Yes, regardless of how `ypit•
look or feel the golf association pegs.you as I•
senior on your SSth birthday.
The number of senior golfers is continu-
ally rising and today,there:is a professional.
senior tour featuring the likes of Sam Snead,
Doug Sanders, Miller Barber, and other
greats of the past. There are also many More
senior amateur events scheduled in all parts
of the country and our bulletin board is
covered with invitations for senior golfers.
Locally, we have many senior golfers
enjoying their new found leisure time on the
golf course. Some have golfed from youth
into cold age while others did not take up the
game until after retirement. Regardless of
the time in life that golf was taken up, golf
during your senior years can be a healthy
and satisfying pasttime. Our seniors are put
on the course almost every day and when the
youngsters finish school, daytime golf often,
sees old and young heading down the
fairway together.
Golfing in your senior years will ;often •
meati that adjustments must be made to
your game and- .your attitude. Being and
keeping in good shape is important for the
enjoyment of any sport and golf is tto
exception, Walking strengthens the legs and ,
improves circulation and it is recommended
that senior golfers only ride carts on
extremely hilly courses or on very hotdays
unless some physical ailment forces them to
ride. if you do share a cart with someone .
take turnswalking a hole or two just to keep
the old bones mobile.

heading out on the course by hitting some
balls and,ddin a'few stret bing..exercises.
Staying flexible and avoiding thhat middle-
aged spread that comes from too little
exercise will helpyou keep that hong. smooth
swing of youthfyears. •
Physical conditions change as you age and
there is more to it than just losing a ,little
flexibility 'or putting on weight. Sometimes
arthritis can be a problem causing you to
have to shorten your swing and lose
distance. Sometimesarthritic hands will
mean that adjustments will have to be made
to your normal grip.
Then there are the eyes. As you become
more long-sighted you will find it harder to
focus on the ball at address or when putting.
Don't despair as they even have special
golfers bifocals designed especially so that
you won't hdve to lower your head into an
awkward position in order to focus on the
ball.
Physical condition is no more important
than the proper mental attitude. You're
never too old to learn new tricks and during
your senior golfing years, it's time to use all
the experience of the ast td your advantage:,
So what if you can't hit a seven iron as far a"s
you could 25 years ago. Hit a five or four
iron. As long as it does the job don't let

With long hitting as you might have done in
younger days, use experience and knob, -

instead. Work on your short game and with
consistant chipping and putting you can still

One of the major accomplishments a
golfer oh have is to shoot his age for 18
boles,andthat is something many of us are
going to have to wait awhile for. Golf Digest
has a special award for anyone who. shoots
his age or better over an 18 hole course and
I'm sure we've got some potential winners
out there.
