hogan A wide selection of videos from a number of players and instructors demonstrating proper golf swing and other techniques to improve the seniors game and pleasure.
 
Our name,  'North of 55.com' may be somewhat cryptic but it intended to indicate this website is written by seniors, for seniors.  We sometimes refer to ourselves as 'Baby Boomer & Beyond', we'll answer to either one.

Support Local Business

womanworker2The purpose of North of 55.com is not only to identify great values in recreational , entertainment and leisure activities for the senior but at the same time supporting local businesses.  Most of our participating businesses are locally owned and operated, such as, golf courses, golf domes and ranges, club makers, tennis facilities, ice rinks, ski areas, bowling alleys and so forth.  It has been quoted that for every $100 spent at a chain store only $14 went back into the local community.  Whereas, for every $100 dollars spent at a local business, $45 stayed locally. Further, many  local businesses employ seniors, for us that's a double wammy.

 
Stretching the Senior Dollar

As a senior citizen I've noticed that many business will allow a senior discount but never openly offer it when you're standing at the register, if you don't ask they won't mention it.  How many times, I wonder, do we over pay on meals and other purchases over the course of a year because we forget or too embarressed to ask.  The experience of (begging) for a discount is repugnent to many, including myself.  It's an attitude I can no longer afford.


 

Contributing Golf Writer

We are pleased to announce that George Christe will be joining us as a contributing golf writer.  George is a master at course management so his course critiques should be a valued addition.  George is also a excellent club maker and fitter so some of his articles he will be devoted to tips and advise on golf equipment for seniors.  Others of our senior writing staff will also be commenting on area golf courses playability from the seniors' viewpoint.  Look for the articles in our ' From a Seniors Viewpoint'
