If you are a golfer and happen to be a senior, you might want to experience courses the way they are instead of having improvements. Not all
courses are designed the same and there are reasons for this, the top one being different playing fields allows the senior golfer to practice different techniques.

If you're a senior golfer and you like to take holidays, why not combine the two? Whether you play
golf several times a week or just once in a while, a golfing holiday is a fantastic way to get some
fresh air and exercise while relaxing with friends or your other half. it's also a good opportunity to
try out different golf courses, so you don't get stuck in a rut playing the same one all the time.
Check out the internet for seniors' golf holidays. There are plenty of sites which specialise in these
or you can call by the travel agent and pick up some brochures. Find out what you can about the
courses on offer; are they right for your standard of golf, are they easily accessible from the road,
rail or air network that you plan to use?
You may want to choose somewhere where there's a seniors' golf tournament going on. You could
spend a day or so watching them and you may pick up some tips. You never know, you may find
yourself on the golf course behind a group of senior from the tournament getting in some practice.
Golfing holidays usually come as a package with accommodation and green fees included. In
some places, for example Spain, your package may include playing at four different courses, all
within a short distance of one another. These can be convenient, with everything laid on, but be
warned, the on site shops and restaurants will be charging way above the national average prices.
If you want a few lessons, make sure that there's a pro on hand. You need to check this before
you book, as afterwards will be too late if there's no pro. You may do well to book your sessions
with him in advance too.
It would be wise to book your tee times in advance so that you can have whichever suit you, not
those that are left over when everyone else has had their pick.
Choose the season carefully. High summer isn't a good time for seniors (or indeed anyone else) to
be playing golf unless you're a really hardened sun lover. If you do get caught out by a hot day for
your golf, wear plenty of sunscreen, a hat and be sure to carry lots of water with you.
Wherever you go, if you love golf, you're sure to have a great time on a seniors' golf holiday.
