Especially for Seniors
| One of the instructors at Heartland likes to tell the story of when he began dating his wife and wanting to endear himself to her parents. The family had an old Labrador Retriever (Augie) that they loved dearly. He explains that his strategy was to get to the family through the dog. If the dog would adore him, he certainly would have the family’s stamp of approval. Guessing that even for a dog the grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence, he made it his plan to walk the dog around the neighborhood. Since the dog rarely got out of the fenced back yard, Augie was wild with delight. Within a few weeks the dog became dedicated to him and obeyed his every command knowing he was the dogs ticket out of the back yard. The family was moved by the dog’s elation and devotion. The plan had worked. He and the wife have been married for over 30 years. | |

One of the real joys we have is when Seniors experience that their golf game can grow and improve. In their seventies, they can get better. Even at the height of their abilities, every golfer has limits. One of golf’s delights is for every player to discover just how good we can become and find that we are less limited than we thought. This is no less true for Seniors. |
