I have never met a golfer who does not wand to lower their score. The number of tips available to all players seems limitless and sifting through all the noise is a challenge. Well, that is what most golf blogs are for and The Grateful Golfer is no different. One of the interesting aspects of finding a drill that works is it has likely been talked about using a different name. This is the case for today’s drill and it is a universal fact that it works. But first, you should watch the short video.

As we journey down the back nine of our golfing journey, there are many aspects of our game that changes. It is not because of something catastrophic, but the slow creep of age into our game. Generally, most senior golfers are less flexible which in turn affects our golf swing. Additionally, the wear and tear of life may cause other challenges that prevents our ability to swing the golf clubs the way our mind thinks we should; but that is just life. Because I am a senior golfer, I thought it would be beneficial to offer some solutions to keeping our game sharp.

It finally happened a few days ago. The Grateful Golfer golf blog reach the major milestone of 1 million visitors. This was an original goal I set from when first started writing back in May of 2012. As you know, this golf blog was set up to allow me to manage my critical life event (twice actually) and to expand my thoughts on a passion that is ever growing. I am not bragging, but highlighting my gratitude to all the readers who graced the musing of an amateur golfer trying to navigate the challenges on and off the golf course.
I want to thank everyone for allowing me to share a small part of your day and will rededicate my time to writing more about this amazing sport. I am blessed in many ways and reaching this amazing milestone helps fuel my desire to continue sharing my musings on a regular basis. Thanks again for all the support!
As your golf season starts to ramp up (for those of us in the northern climes) it will be time to set some goals moving forward. This is aways the first step for my golf season and I plan to follow the same successful path. Last year, I missed about eight weeks of my season due to medical challenges, but this year I am ready to take a full swing at improving my game. As I trundle down my path this year, I hope you will continue to stay with me and share in the trials and tribulations of my game.
I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!
Hickory Golf Show Is Happening This Weekend
Just a kindly reminder about the Golf Historical Society of Canada golf show this weekend. I hope you can make it.
Hitting A Cold Golf Ball (Update)
Hitting a cold golf ball is never fun. The vibrations continuously reverberate up the shaft of the club into our hands, wrists and elbows. After 60 or so swings, my joints become annoyed and they want a rest. Of course, this does not stop me from going out the next day in the cool temperatures, but it is something I am aware of and try to prevent. My efforts to reduce the impact of these vibrations are the main reason I rarely injure myself in the fall.
