The flexible benefits of stretching

About NSMGA Tour

I'm a single digit handicapper with a serious passion and great respect for the game. I didn't start playing until I was 30 and I got hooked (or as my wonderfully understanding wife would say "possessed"). I've had the distinct pleasure of living down the street from Gary Player when I lived in Florida and I had the opportunity to not only watch him practice but to play with him and enjoy his company. I also had the pleasure of meeting many of the late 80's/early 90's Senior Tour players at the Alaqua Golf and Country Club in Longwood Florida where I was a Founding Member. These days I only get to play once a week and as I get older (almost 53), it is becoming more difficult to keep up with the 20/30 somethings (but I still try). To that end, I have enrolled in the Fore-Max Golf Training Systems program under the tutelage of Founder, Steve Heller. My goal is to get my flexibility back and increase my strength, stamina and overall physical well being (like I said... I am NOT getting any younger). I have a beautiful 13 year old daughter and a wonderful wife of 23 years that understands my "vice" and lets me play as often as is necessary. I am truly blessed to have both of them in my life. I am originally from Madison, WI (Edgewood) and am a die-hard Badger and Packer fan. I left the frozen tundra 26 years ago and moved to Florida then headed West to Scottsdale Arizona where we've been for almost 17 years. I can't see living anywhere else after being here this long... it just feels right (HOT 4 months of the year, but right)! This is THE place for golf if you ask me (and Florida would come in 2nd in my opinion) and that's one of the reasons I put up with 4 months of really hot conditions... so I can take full advantage of the 8 months of perfect golf weather.
