Back in 2002 it was hard to imagine that the Senior PGA Tour wouldn’t be coming back to Chicago the following year. After all, the circuit for golf’s 50-and-over stars had been well-received for the 12 previous years and the players made it clear they liked coming here.

Sponsorship didn’t materialize, though, and the event known originally as the Ameritech Senior Open and then – in its last three stages – as the SBC Senior Open was gone forever....

Question: I’ve decided to really make an effort to lower my handicap this year. What is the best way to reach my goal of consistently shooting lower scores?

Answer: This is an easy one. The ONLY answer is to IMPROVE YOUR SHORT GAME. Approximately 65% of all strokes played during a round are taken from inside 100 yards.
