Why I'm writing this magazine
From over 5,000 personal data points, I am learning what truly makes me a better senior golfer. I search for research and studies internationally and analyze them – after all, one has nothing else to do :-) Which tee choice saves 4 strokes. Why wedges are worth 30–80 meters more than Driver-SuperSpeed. When the hybrid beats the 4-iron.
This magazine is my working binder—data-driven, honest, without marketing filters. Written by a senior golfer for senior golfers.
