The game of golf is a great one because it lends itself to just about everyone. You don’t have to be a super athlete or in your athletic prime to play a great round. In fact, many consider golf to be the best of all of the “life sports”, given how easy it is to get out for a round. If you want to play the game well as you enter the senior circuit, then lessons should be on your mind.
Seniors golf instruction is available through many club professionals. Whether you are just learning the game or you have been playing for years, seniors golf instruction can help you hit the ball straighter. Some people think that once you have learned a swing, it is impossible to re-learn better techniques. This is patently false, and seniors golf instruction will prove that point.

When I first took up the game of golf, I made the classic mistake of an athlete trying to use what worked for me in other sports in the game of golf.
Not so fast, as they say.
It wasn’t until someone actually showed me the proper technique for my swing, and pointed out to me that just hitting the ball as hard as possible would not work, did I get any better results.
Although getting golf swing instruction is absolutely essential for improving your drives, it doesn’t end there. Anywhere on the course, from putting to your short game, could use a tweak that will greatly improve your accuracy and success. Golf is more about technique than power.

Tiger Woods is perhaps the world’s most well known athlete and has increased the popularity of golf immensely since his professional debut in the late 1990′s. Woods is currently the #1 player in the world rankings, and with $110 million in winnings and endorsements from 2008, he is also the highest paid professional athlete.
Tiger Woods was born on December 30, 1975 in Cypress, California to Earl and Kultida Woods. Tiger Woods is credited with not only helping resurrect golf’s popularity and increase prize money, but also breaking color barriers in a sport that has a long history of white dominance. Woods’ father is African-American, Chinese, and Native American in ancestry while his mother is Thai, Chinese, and Dutch in ancestry.
Tiger Woods has won 14 major golf championships, four shy of Jack Nicklaus’ record 18 major victories. Woods’ most memorable victory was certainly his first major championship. Woods won the 1997 Masters in record breaking fashion and became the first person of color to ever win the event.
