Feel younger, get stronger and live a long, healthy life.

How small lifestyle changes can keep you young and improve your golf game

My passion is teaching seniors how to live a healthier, happier, longer life. My new, groundbreaking book, You Can Shoot 70 at 70, Age Defying Breakthroughs for the Senior Golfer, is more about lifestyle than swing mechanics.
I’ve heard so many golfers over 50 say, “My game is not what it used to be.” The important information provided can prove that as false. Being willing to make small lifestyle changes in exercise and nutrition is the key to a healhier life and a better golf game.
We are available for interviews, workshops or classes. Our target audience is seniors: in golf communities, retirement communities, libraries, community centers and anywhere else we can find active, interested people over the age of 50.

Known for its red rock formations and stunning scenery, Sedona also offers challenging golf courses, including several that have been honored by GolfWeek Magazine. You’ll find traditional desert golf in Sedona, with lots of bunkering, native areas and little water. However, you’ll also find mountain views on most courses. Golf packages are available at many area resorts. Sedona is located 90 miles north of Phoenix. It is most easily accessed via air travel into Phoenix’s Sky Harbor Airport and then a two-hour drive on Interstate 17.

Oakcreek Country Club

A partnership between Robert Trent Jones Senior and Junior, the Oakcreek Country Club is a traditional Midwestern-style course with wide fairways and lots of bail out areas, but plenty of challenges. The difference between this course and other layouts by these architects is the stunning scenery. Red rock formations rise up around the course, which winds through the canyon next to the creek. Bunkers are a key component of this course, both in the fairway and around the greens. There are four sets of tees, the longest of which plays 6,824 yards. Oakcreek County Club 690 Bell Rock Blvd. Sedona, AZ 86351 888-703-9489

Sedona Golf Resort

Set amid red-rock formations in the grounds of one of the larger resorts in the area, the Sedona Golf Resort was selected by GolfWeek Magazine as one of America’s Best Places to Play in 2009. A Troon Golf property designed by Gary Panks, water is not a big factor on this course, but there are lots of nasty bunkers, particularly around the par-3 greens. But on the signature par-3 No. 10, forget about the bunkers as you take in the view. There are four sets of tees and the course plays 6,646 from the back tees. Sedona Golf Resort 35 Ridge Trail Dr. Sedona, AZ 86351 877-733-9887

Seven Canyons

Three years after this course opened in 2002, it was selected by GolfWeek Magazine as one of America’s 40 Top New Courses. The award was the first of many for this private-equity course designed by Tom Weiskopf. Set in a small valley with red rock formations rising all around, Seven Canyons has large, undulating greens, wide fairways and ample bunkering, but it is the scenery that will take your breath away. Memberships are available and the course offers reciprocal privileges with some private courses. Seven Canyons 755 Golf Club Way Sedona, AZ 86336 866-694-8844
