About Us
The editor/founder of BoomerGolfNews.com, the handsome fellow to the left, was born in 1954, pretty much smack dab in the middle of the Baby Boomer era.
If my age isn’t enough to keep away dreams of contorting this body to hit the ball like Tiger Woods, then a consistent 20-handicap coupled with a build more closely resembling that of fellow
Boomer Craig Stadler helps keep such thoughts at bay. But I love the game.
During my last 20-plus years as a golf journalist, I noticed there was little written about golf as it is played by the vast majority of those who proudly call themselves “Baby Boomers.” It is the wondrous variety of playing venues and the people with whom we choose to spend four to five hours playing a round of golf that make this game great. While none of us will ever hit the ball like Woods or Annika Sorenstam, that does not stop us from enjoying the game as much, if not more so, than the best players the professional tours have to offer.
We designed this website to report on news, courses, travel, equipment, instruction, health, apparel, real estate, and yes, even pro
tour issues, in a fashion that will make the game more enjoyable for Baby Boomers (although Boomer wannabes are welcome to visit these pages as well).
There is no typical Baby Boomer. Some of us are still raising children who hopefully share our enthusiasm for the game and are frequent
members of our foursomes. Others have sent children off to college or the job market and find tuition and rent subsidies take a good-sized bite out of our golf budget. Still others, traveling as a couple or part of a group, find golf to be the focal point of our vacations or weekend activities.
This website is for all of us. Hope you enjoy it.
