ICYMI, I’m honored to be featured in the January 2025 issue of PGA Magazine (Vol. 106, No. 1). My contribution to the Golf Fitness Association of America (GFAA) best practice highlights a key topic: helping golfers maintain their distance as they age.

In the article, I share three simple but effective strategies that everyday golfers can use to stay in shape, keep their speed up, and continue hitting the ball far well into their later years.

Big thanks to PGA Magazine for the feature! If you’re interested, you can read my section on page 82. Check out a snippet of the article in the attached screenshot.

The story - titled "How Far Should You Hit Your Golf Clubs?" - uses @trackmangolf data and Bowden's algebra skills to extrapolate approximate carry distances golfers should expect from different clubs based on their driver swing speed.
