Veteran Perry Wins Again

Kenny Perry won another tournament on Sunday, his fourth win in the last two seasons. With his performance over the last year or so, and Vijay Singh's continued strong play, it is becoming more evident that golf is a game that can be played at a highly competitive level into your late 40's and early 50's. This is especially so if you can stay in shape and hold onto that length off the tee. Perry and Singh continue to hit the ball a long way, and it is not just due to technological advances. When either one gets hot with the putter, they are a force to be reckoned with.

The message here is if you take care of yourself and keep working on your game, there is no reason you can't play your best golf even if you are approaching 50. If you are in this age range, focus on stretching so that you won't lose that shoulder turn so important to maintaining length off the tee. And don't forget to work more on that short game than anything else! That is where you can score!
