Why I'm writing this magazine
I am Mathias, 68 years old, with a current HCPI of 31.0 and a clear goal of reaching 25.0. I've been in Senior Golf mode for three years, since retiring, when else — and in that time I've measured every shot. As a former marathon runner for HSV (2:26h – Berlin 1981), I'm used to training effectively based on key figures. So I measure: On the range with Garmin R10. On the course with the Bebrassie app. In drill sessions with pencil and logbook.
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.
